I used to get them as gifts growing up to use for college books and whatnot. Normally they take around 10 yrs to fully mature (at least the ones I had were like that). At that point, you could cash them in for face value, or more, depending on how long you let them mature.

Take them to your bank and ask the clerk to check the value on them if you cashed them in now.
