<prompt> Human: Maybe its not worth that much, but I was just given two 50 savings bonds from my parents, that were given to me when I was a kid, maybe like 10-15 years ago? Just wondering if its worth holding onto to them still? Its my understanding that when you receive a bond, you get the value plus inflation? If Im incorrect, fill me in here.Should I just cash these since theyre both only 50, or keep sitting on them?  <response>: Go the treasurydirect website and figure how much they are worth and what the interest rate on them is. If the interest rate is higher than your other savings, hold on to them.EDIT: I should add, depending on the bond type, after a certain period of time 30 years typically they may stop earning interest. At that point its good to cash them in.
