Bonds issued with a physical certificate ...

[Nahum]

Hello forum. I have a quick question that perhaps someone can help with.

I've been buying US Savings Bonds (E, EE, I) for years as a long term investment. As I don't consider them part of my regular portfolio, they've been a decent way to put away money for a distant rainy day.

I continue to do so, but honestly, the interest rates are pretty abysmal. There are a few other factors that make them less attractive at the moment. Does anyone know of another form of bonds, preferably government backed (municipal, state, territorial, or federal) that features a physical, paper bond?

That may seem like an odd question, but for this particular savings plan, it is important. Thank you very much for your time.

Thanks for the reply. It is a long, boring story was to why. Suffice it to say, in this case, it is a requirement.

Thanks.
