Treasury hunt.gov - Got any unclaimed money out there? I’m not talking that quick cash loan with your name on it. I don’t mean the pennies from heaven that fall when you implore the universe to “Give me my cash now!” I’m talking about funds owed to you by the government. If you aren’t sure, take a look at www.TreasuryHunt.gov. It could mean money in the bank.

David Bogoslaw reports for Business Week that there are billions of dollars in unclaimed assets in the United States, held by state controllers and the U.S. Treasury. The Bureau of Public Debt goes so far as to say that there is currently more than $16.6 billion in unredeemed, mature U.S. savings bonds that are no longer earning interest – just sitting there doing nothing.
