Redeem your Series E Bond this year - they no longer accrue interest

From http://consumerist.com/2009/12/redee...s-e-bonds.html

A better article is at http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/sav/20020521a.asp

Series E bonds will no longer accrue interest after 30 years. If you bought them 1974 or later and gave your SSN, you can look them up at http://treasuryhunt.gov/ .

Unless of course, you would like to give the government an interest-free loan.

Actually, the E bonds stopped earning interest in 2005 if I'm reading this correctly. As for me, I'm going to have to check the safety deposit box.
