Question: US Savings Bonds Question?

I have 2 US Savings Bonds, one is from 1999 and the other is from 2003. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time, for them to mature, before I can cash them in. If so how long?
Ok, so how long does it take for them to mature

Answer: You can walk into your local bank and cash them in immediately.

However, the way these work is that you buy them for half price and they earn interest over time.

So if the face amount is $100, you bought it for $50. If you walked in now, before maturity, it might be worth $75. The bank teller can tell you the exact amount and then you can decide to cash in or keep.
