My mom recently sent me savings bonds that were purchased for me at various stages of my childhood. They include some Series EE bonds (mostly issued around 1991) and some Series E bonds (mostly purchased around 1979.)
1) I assume I can cash these in at my local bank, right? 2) Have these bonds continued to accrue interest after reaching face value? If so, is there a way I can figure out how much they are presently worth? (I'm about to do a a Google search. I'll post any results I come up with.) |

they'll calculate what they are worth at the bank, and yes you can take them to any bank.

I'm rich! [/ QUOTE ] Hehe, I doubt it. EE bonds in that time frame may only be worth their face value or slightly more. I would guess that they're almost certainly < 2x their face value. I used to work for the Federal Reserve in the savings bond division. What you really want to find under a mattress are I/E Series bonds from a long time ago. I forget the exact time frame, but there was about a 6 month period where the interest rate was phenomenal. |

Yeah, you can cash them at your local bank.
As far as the rest, I dunno. Depends on the time frame they mature at. The teller should be able to tell you the value of them without cashing them. |
