Unlike current US savings bonds, which stop earning interest when they mature, war bonds continue earning interest until surrendered.
So did my $50 Series E (?) that was bought for me as a baby in '60. I finally cashed it in to tide me over until I got my very first paycheck post-BS. I recall it was about $125 or so, the interest rate post-maturity was very small compared to the maturation rate. I couldn't think of a better way to have spent it! (I was pretty much broke except for that, and decided not to tap the parental units any more. What else was I going to use it on, anyway?)
