At the bank today, while I was depositing savings bonds (from 1986).
Teller: Oh, this will take a few moments, this is a pain to do.
Me: Sorry about that, unfortunately I have 120 more to bring in over time. (I bring them in once a quarter, rather than when each one reaches maturity, to save me time).
Teller: Oh, bring them all at once.
Me: Yeah, they haven't matured yet.
Teller: You don't have to wait for them to fully mature to cash them.
Me: But they are still earning interest, so I don't want to cash them yet.
Teller: Savings bonds get 0.10% interest. It would be better to just deposit them.
Me: Those are current rates. These are 30 years old. I'm going to hold onto them.
Teller: It would be easier for us if you cashed them all at the same time, why not hold onto these until they are all mature.
Me: Some of them have another 15 years on them. No.
Um, yeah. That's not gonna happen. Fun talk.
