    Good illustration of opportunity cost lol... if they're worth more to you as collectibles than what they can be redeemed for, by all means, keep them.

    Some of my savings bonds are yielding 5.20% which is good in this environment.

    A couple of years ago I d/l a saving bond calculator which calculates interest, maturity dates, etc.

    For your sake, g1rge, I just hope they were not replaced due to being reported as lost or stolen.

    They're not mine, I was just replying to the post as to what the current value was, which can be looked up online.

    Well the only have redemption value to those people, unless those bonds have already been cancelled from being reported lost or stolen. Even if they haven't been savings bonds are not transferable and even if you acquired them legitimately you couldn't ever redeem them (they can only ever be redeemed by the registered owners, designated beneficiaries of the registered owners, or heirs of the owners). If there's no legitimate claimants the bonds are nominally worthless and only have collector's value.
