It's a bearer bond, no records are kept of the holder and whoever has the certificate can claim it. |

It's a "bearer" bond. It means that whoever has the document in their posession (or the coupons from it) will be paid the interest or dividend(s) from it. |

the actuall term is bearer bond. It is like a stock certificate, but it is not registered or tracked. The person who holds it is entitled to its value. I believe they are illegal now as that they were so easy to cash in for criminals. |

It's 'bearer bond' and refers to bonds (a promise to pay back a certain amount of money, with interest) which are payable to whomever is in possession of the actual document. Most are backed by large corporations or government entities which issue (sell) bonds to raise cash. Bearer bonds are useful becuase they can be used as a form of currency for very large transactions between banks, corporations, and - *rarely* - individuals.
The difference between purchase price and the eventual value is also a factor that makes bonds better than cash. So for example company A wants to buy a division from company B; they can use bonds they bought for X dollars to pay for it, stating Y dollars (the redemption value) as the actual value because company B can cash them in for that much at a future date. Somewhere some other company or government has to actually make good on the difference.
The downside is that because bearer bonds act like cash, they have to be protected from thieves. In some places companies keep bonds worth literally tens of millions of dollars, which could fit into a suitcase. That's a tempting target. |

I think you mean "bearer bond". It's a bond which entitles it's bearer to a certain sum of money after a set time. Basically, they work like cash. Whoever is holding it (the bearer) is the owner, and can cash it after the time is up. |
