Can you take a bond larger than you need right now, or take bonds just to hold extra cash?

The designer ruled on this in 2009 and 2015, and the rulebook says the same.

No. You may issue bonds only when you need the cash for an immediate purchase or bid, and only as many as you need. For example, needing $14,000 means issuing three bonds, not a 5-bond certificate. Any change left over from the last bond you needed is yours to keep. You cannot issue bonds just to hold a cash pile, which matters for the Moses Taylor most-money card. Certificates of 1, 5 and 10 can be exchanged like change.
