Yes. It does have U.S. TREASURY in the background but, that IS NOT considered a "seal" or "watermark" (by legal defintion.) But, yes, I wanted to copy it. It looks like a check WITHOUT the watermarks.

Nothing usually about it but, I believe its because, the bond is marked at a "future par" (i.e. interest, i.e. i gave them 250$ so, they issued me a 500$ EE bond, i.e. "par" is a future return 'collateral based' bond's). But thats exactly what I want to do: copy MY bond. I havn't found one lick of evidence to say other wise.

Let me know what you think of this.
