(a)The bonds may be issued in a denomination or denominations of any amount or amounts requested by the Treasurer and all bonds of the same issue or same series need not be of the same denomination.
(b)The bonds may bear no interest or may bear interest payable only at maturity or at the times and in the manner established in the resolution, indenture, agreement, or other instrument providing for the issuance of the bonds.
(c)For purposes of determining the principal amount of bonds outstanding, in the case of any bonds that do not provide for payment of interest on the bond prior to maturity, the principal amount of these bonds shall be the cash price paid by the initial purchasers of the bonds to the state plus the amount of any costs of issuance of the bonds. Within 30 days of the delivery of any bonds, the Treasurer shall submit to the governing body a certificate stating the principal amount of bonds, calculated as stated in this subdivision, which have been sold, and this certification shall be conclusive for all purposes.
(d)The bonds may be issued in any form requested by the Treasurer in order to satisfy the requirements of a book entry system of depository trust companies or other similar financial institutions.
