Treasury Reopenings
In a security reopening, the U.S. Treasury issues additional amounts of a previously issued security. The reopened security has the same maturity date and coupon interest rate or spread as the original security, but with a different issue date and usually a different purchase price.

Security Details
- The maturity date of the reopening is the same as the maturity date of the original issue.
- The coupon rate or spread of the reopening is the same as the coupon rate or spread of the original issue.
- The price of the reopened security could be greater than, less than, or equal to the price of the original issue. If the price determined at the reopening exceeds the par value of the security, the purchaser will owe a premium.
Sometimes with a reopened security, the purchaser will have to pay accrued interest. If this is the case, the interest is paid back and included with the first interest payment.
