I have a list of my Savings Bonds that includes serial numbers, dates, and registrations, but I forgot to write down the denominations. Can I tell the denominations from the letter in the serial numbers?

Tom's response

You can. Here's what the prefixes mean, regardless of series:

  • L - $50
  • K - $75
  • C - $100
  • R - $200
  • D - $500
  • M - $1,000
  • V - $5,000
  • X - $10,000
