The Series I savings bond is issued by the United States Treasury and is a way for small investors to protect themselves from the dangers of inflation during times of rising prices. The interest earned on I bonds is determined by a combination of a fixed rate and an inflation rate, the latter of which changes every six months based on the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. Unlike the Series EE paper bonds, the Series I paper bonds are issued at full face value. That is, if you buy a $10,000 I bond, it will cost you $10,000 in cash at the time you make the investment.
These high resolution images will show you the paper certificate versions of the Series I savings bonds, as well as explain which Americans are featured on the bond vignette and why their contribution to our nation was so important.
