"When did the USA first issue 30 years bonds? " This might answer your question: publicdebt.treas.gov "Series E bonds have had varying original maturity periods depending on their issue dates, ranging from 10 years for the oldest bonds to 5 years for the last ones issued. Series E bonds issued from May 1941 to November 1965 have been granted three 10-year extended maturity periods. Those issued after November 1965 have been granted two 10-year extended maturity periods. Series E bonds issued from May 1952 through November 1965 have been granted an additional extension sufficient in length to make their total interest-accruing life spans 40 years. Those issued in December 1965 and after have been granted an additional extension sufficient to make their total interest-accruing life spans 30 years."
