In my mind’s eye (This is FR, so of course I am not going to read the article) the governement then sends the recipient an e savings bond to print out,
or if they want to help save the planet, a refurbished Walmart, or Amazon gift card..I envision the words Wal*Mart or Amazon scratched out with a magic marker, then the words US Treasury Savings Bond written under that.
The old magnetic strip will be replaced with a new one from the Government indicating the amount of the bond at maturation..
This will create many new jobs /s
