Did you cash savings bonds you got as a kid? Ever buy a child a U.S. savings bond? It could be time to nudge 30-somethings or 40-somethings to see if they cashed their bonds. Currently, there are about 47 million unredeemed matured savings bonds worth $16.1 billion.
There are 12 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in each case.
Alas, that big box never appeared on my list, so I settled for a box of 16 or 24, along with my #2 pencils, spiral notebooks, Elmerâs glue, and a box of Kleenex. Even with that small disappointment, I was excited to have all of these new things. I was ready for school.
