Treasury notes, sometimes called T-Notes, earn a fixed rate of interest every six months until maturity. Notes are issued in terms of 2, 3, 5, and 10 years.
Treasury bills, or T-bills, are sold in terms ranging from a few days to 26 weeks. Bills are sold at a discount from their face value. For instance, you might pay $970 for a $1,000 bill. When the bill matures, you would be paid $1,000. The difference between the purchase price and face value is interest.

These are debt securities issued by the U.S. government. T stands for Treasury (the agency of the U.S. government that issues them). The U.S. government debt comes in three varieties, T-bills (maturing in less then one year), T-notes (maturing in 1-10 years) and T-bonds (maturing in 10+ years). T-bills are normally issued at a discount, while T-notes and T-bonds pay coupons.

Treasury Notes and Treasury Bills that you purchase from the government with the expectation of a guaranteed very low profit.

treasury notes and bills
its basically an investment you make to the US Treasury or government, you give them $10,000 and they pay a set amount of interest over a period of time. Kind of like a long term CD.

Both are treasury notes sold by our government. They usually have and pay higher dividends than ordinary bank accounts.

I believe that is Federal Government bond. Though I do not know the difference. They have face value, market value and the maturity term and interest.
