Miles - If the bonds have been cashed, you can't find out anything unless you have the serial numbers of the bonds. If they have not been cashed, you can follow the process outlined here.

Either co-owner of a Savings Bond can cash it without the knowledge or permission of the other.

I have a savings bond from 1992, with both me and my moms name on it to be cashed in athe the time of my fathers death but I think my mom has cashed them in without me, can she do that.
And how can I find out how many bonds in total had my name on them?

Joan - no, exchanging Series EE and I bonds is not possible, although it would definitely be beneficial.

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

B. Lujan - if you're interested in a steady rate, Series I bonds do that, as shown in the chart here.

I have twin boys.. When they turned 5 I invested 10K into stocks, in 3 years it gained 2K, but lately with the economy in 6 months time, it has lost 6K. 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.
