You can purchase $60,000 Series I Bonds

Post by barb1948 »

Regarding the Series I bonds and EE Bonds: A U.S. person can acutually purchase $60,000 in the I's and the EE's per year. It is a little known fact that you can purchase $30,000 over the internet, which are called electronic purchases, and you can purchase $30,000 called paper bonds.. They are trying to get away from paper bonds, but until they do --they can still be bought...mostly from a Bank. You can go to www.Treasury Direct and scroll around to find 'How to purchase paper bonds.'. Barbara
