Question: Question about Savings Bonds?

I lost some Savings Bonds that I purchased for my kids. How can I obtain a replacement. Some of the bonds I have for my kids are series I, some are EE. I fill out whatever form the teller gives me. What is the difference, aside from the face value, between the two.

Answer: The attached link tells how to replace lost Savings Bonds. The Treasury Direct site also explains the difference between EE and I (inflation protected) bonds. The face value of the I Bonds is the purchase price, so they will have increased from that after your purchase date. EE paper bonds are sold at 1/2 the face value, so unless they are maturing, they are worth less than the face value. One more note, if you buy either EE or I Bonds directly from the Treasury Direct site, you will never have to worry about losing the bonds, as it is a ledger only , on-line system
