§ 7221 Bond Denomination Requirements

This law sets a minimum value for the name given to bonds when a government issues them, requiring that the bond's denomination be at least $100.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bond denominations must be $100 or more.
  • •The minimum amount is set by the issuing authority's resolution.
  • •This rule applies to any government‑issued bond under this statute.

Example

A city council decides to raise money by selling municipal bonds to fund a new library.

When the council adopts a resolution to issue the bonds, they must choose a denomination—like $100, $500, or $1,000—for each bond. The law says the smallest amount they can use is $100, so they cannot issue bonds worth less than that per unit.
