...have taken it upon themselves to liberate certain documents. After Brooklyn artist Charles Merrill Mount attempted to sell a collection of rare Civil War manuscripts including three Lincoln letters to a Boston bookstore in 1987, suspicious staffers alerted the Feds. Mount was arrested, and a search of his Washington safe-deposit box revealed some 200 Civil War-era papers, mostly pilfered from the National Archives.

Yet they go unredeemed. Many of them are tucked in a drawer or safe-deposit box, and the owner, who may have inherited them, has no idea that the bonds have matured. If you own savings bonds, check the dates. At minimum, any bonds that are no longer accruing interest should be converted into newer bonds that do. A government website, publicdebt.treas.gov will help. Or check...
