Some questions about T Bonds

[1967Sam]

I am learning about US Treasury bonds and have some questions. I will appreciate if someone can answer them.

1) Some told me that even if a bond is not issued by US Treasury can still be held on US Treasury. Is this right?

2) How can a bond be verified to be real or not if someone has a bond copy, ofcourse with the owner's permission?

I believe that all Treasury issues-- notes, bonds and bills are book entry only. That is there are no paper certificates.


Here's a link with more information.
