And would that be beneficial, especially for more current EE bonds that have a lower interest rate? Is it possible to exchange Series EE Bonds for Series I without a penalty?

I also have $ in CD's and college savings funds, however I am also looking into other things to build upon moneys. My boys are now 9. Can you suggest a place for me to invest money in that will acrue at a steady rate? I would like to give them the money upon graduation. I have twin boys..

I don't really have any alternatives for you, but the I bond will do better than the EE bond, even just three years out, barring a complete financial disaster that leads to months of deflation.

I am looking to purchase some as gifts and am not as familiar with the I as I am with the EE. They are for my children who are both under 4 - so there will be ample time for the bonds to mature.
