Oh, coupons also apply to bonds. If you have a bond, the coupon is the money you make from the interest on that bond. A normal vanilla bond pays its interest twice a year, which means that twice a year—for as long as you have the bond (until it expires)—you get cash.
Example
You have a $500,000, 8% coupon bond. Twice a year, you get $20,000 for your investment. Not bad.
