How do you make money with an Electronic EE bond?

I'm checking the government website to buy some bonds. Here is what it states. Buying Electronic EE Bonds * Sold at face value; i.e., you pay $50 for a $50 bond and it's worth its full value when it's available for redemption. * Purchase in amounts of $25 or more, to the penny. * $5,000 maximum purchase in one calendar year. * Issued electronically to your designated account. Buying Paper EE Bonds * Sold at half their face value; i.e., you pay $25 for a $50 bond but it's not worth its face value until it has matured. * Purchase in denominations of $50, $75, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, and $5,000, and $10,000. * $5,000 maximum purchase in one calendar year. * Issued as paper bond certificates. My question is if you buy $50 of bond online then when you redeem it in 5 years you will only get $50 dollars back? How do you earn money when you buy it electronically?

1. You "make money" from the interest the bond pays. It can be deposited into your bank account.
2. What they mean by full value is 50 plus interest. So in 5 years, you will get all of about $55. Wow, what a deal.
