>>62155188/thread>>62155195You would get sent everything in the mail, including your actual certificates showing you owned a stock/bond.My Great-Grandpa had bond investments and they would physically send your bond certificates to you in the mail. Then you'd probably go to a local bank to redeem them when they matured.
>>62155225What if they got lost in the mail?
>>62155176Now millennials give their money to Indians and Eastern Europeans
>>62155263I don't know.I've been getting mail for 20 years and never lost a single item. Your name and everything was attached to the bonds, so it's not like other people could use them.
>>62155263Maybe you just picked them up at a bank.
