The early savings bonds had min. guaranteed 7.5% interest rate.
As rates dropped the guarantee dropped to 4-4.5%. Then when
the Treasury made them floating rate, with no guarantee, I wasn't
interested. But I bought a few more, because I had
a 10yr plan, and only had 5-6yrs in.(due to 30mo. bout of
unemployment). Stopped buying completely after 7.5 yrs.

Bought most of them with daily accumulated loose change,
and any dollars left over from my weekly allowance, +.
