Would you like to go on a treasure hunt for long-forgotten money?
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Public Debt reports that more than $16 billion worth of matured savings bonds have not been redeemed. If you have Series E savings bonds, possibly dating back decades, they may be about to stop paying interest.
