Unclaimed Savings Bonds
Many people were given savings bonds from family members many years ago and may have lost track of them. They may not even remember receiving them, or, they bought some on their own.
There are more than $16 billion worth of matured bonds that have not been redeemed. This is the final year Series E bonds earn interest. Thus, a $100 bond from 1960 is now with 700.
You can visit a website to see if you have an unclaimed bond. You could have substantial cash that will stop earning interest. I found a few that I had previously bought. Check out the website: www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tools/tools_treasuryhunt.htm.
Good luck and good hunting.
