I don't know a whole lot about old coins or savings bonds or anything, and I'm having a hard time finding out about the latter online.
Anyway, I have two questions: Are half-dollar coins still considered spendable currency? I have about $120 in these things and I'm wondering if I can put them in my bank account. I wonder if some might be worth more than 50 cents since I think some are the 90% silver coins, but there are no coin stores or antique stores around here to sell to, so I guess I'd just deposit them.
Also, my grandmother left me quite a big pile of bonds that I guess were able to be cashed at least nine years after she got them. Thing is she didn't sign the damn things, so I think they're worthless. Or am I mistaken?
