Can anyone tell me the value of a $10 Confederate paper bill?
Also how do you find out the value of series EE bonds from the early 90's and do they increase in value if you continue to hold on to them?
What is the maximum maturation time?
Thank you...

Can't answer your question about the Confederate bill, but regarding Savings Bonds:
Here's a calculator to help you determine the value of your Savings Bonds -
Individual - Savings Bond Calculator (http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tools/tools_savingsbondcalc.htm)
You can create a file to record all your bonds - that way you don't have to re-enter them. Also, you can convert your paper bonds to electronic on this site - I did this to decrease the clutter and make it easier to sell them.
And yes, your bonds will continue to increase in value. They earn interest for 30 years, so currently any bond issues after July 1977 earns interest.

Likewise, I would have trouble answering the question about the Savings Bonds.
From my own experience as a collector of coins and paper money, the confederate bills can be worth next to nothing or a lot of money. It depends on their condition and whether they are deemed to be of value because of their rarity and how they were designed artistically.
I would also suggest taking it to a coin shop to determine if it is the real thing or not. There have been a lot of the confederate currency that has been duplicated to look like it is the real thing.
You might find the information on the following sites to be helpful to you. I hope that you do.
