I got a $50 savings bond and I have no idea what the heck it is. I got it a couple of years ago and just found it in my wallet. Does this mean I get $50? I’m 13 and a little confused. Thanks for the help!

nic b asked:


I found a square peice of paper, a savings bond with an american flag on the right side of it, and it says that $100 was purchased for me by my grandmom and will be forwarded to me from the federal reserve bank. I’m pretty sure I got this at least 10 or so years ago when I was very young. Can i just take this to a bank and get $100 or what?

SBTaxQuestion asked:


I am a college student with no job (and thus no income). Normally I would not file taxes. I have some savings bonds that I would like to cash, but I am wondering if I would need to file taxes and pay taxes on the bonds, even though I normally would not file taxes.

hendrixfanhawaii asked:


I have a lot of U.S. savings bonds that I’ve received as gifts over the years. How do I go about cashing them? Do I just take it to a bank? If I don’t have an account with a certain bank, is there any type of wait period?

Savings bonds? Will it ever be worth more than $50?

firefenix05 asked:


I got a $50 savings bond from some folks after I graduated high school. I looked up what it is worth today which isn’t a whole lot. About $27 and change…

I understand that one day it will mature and be worth $50…but does it continue to mature after that? Like if I left it alone until I was an old man would it be worth $100? It seems like I’ve heard of old savings bonds being worth a ton of money…so what am I missing here?
