Question: Savings Bonds, how can You tell if they have been cashed?

Ok so my grandmother sends Savings Bonds every birthday and Christmas. Right now I have a couple thousand dollars in Savings Bonds. I was looking through them and noticed I’m missing four years worth of Savings Bonds. I called her and she says she sent them to my fathers house. Well my father is not what you would call a straight shooter he is not what you would call trust worthy with money. So my question is is there any way to know if the Savings Bonds were cashed? Is there somewhere I can call or a website? Anything at all? I am in desperate need of that money which is just about 1200$ and without I cant buy my car and without a car I’m going to have hug problems.

Please and thank you

Answer: Psycho, In order to cash a savings bond you surrender them. I won’t speculate on what may have happened to them, but the only way to find out would be to get the receipt of sale from G’ma and find the serial #s. Then you can go just about anywhere,(gov site or a local bank can help you), to see if & when they were cashed in.
