Merger proposal
I propose that this page be merged with Coupon rate. Finnancier 12:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Even I do believe that this article is similar to that of Coupon Rate and has high relevance to it. User: MBA Finance

Coupon date
I would like to see something about the coupon date. If a bond is semi-annual and one of the coupon dates is May 31, is the other coupon date then December 1 of November 30 ? Ruerd (talk) 09:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Coupon rate paragraph

 * The coupon rate is the yield the bond that has been paid on its issue date; however, this yield can change as the value of the bond changes and thus giving the bond's yield to maturity. Bonds having higher coupon rates are therefore more desirable for investors than those having lower coupon rates.

Perhaps it's due to my limited Emglish but I can't parse this paragraph. Something about a yield, and something paid on its issue date...?

Also, isn't the face value and number of coupons determined and fixed at the date of issue? If so, then how can the coupon rate change? And there's even these preprinted fancy paper-coupons. These obviously can't change...\ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.136.152 (talk) 20:11, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
