I recently found a Certificate (my father's) and although I know the program has long closed, and the Feds won't let one collect on the face value, I'm wondering if anyone collects these things.

The Certificate is a $5 Certificate of Deposit stamped DEC 01 1964 in Tuscon AZ.

Are we talking about the cards that they used to put "Savings Stamps" on? (They used to sell those stamps at my elementary school back in the early 1960's, and when you filled the card in, you exchanged it for a savings bond).
Yes, those do have some collector value. In fact, I would be interested myself. My offer would be a percentage of the value of the stamps on the card, though, and also what denomination stamps are on it.
Contact me if you can provide more details - Thanks.

Here is one I found presently for sale on eBay. It has three days to go - You might keep an eye on this one and see if it sells.
