You can't redeem them directly at a bank for gold. That was suspended almost 80 years ago, back in 1933, when the US went off the gold standard. However you can always use Federal Reserve Notes or any other form of legal tender to purchase gold on the open market at current retail prices.
All 1928 $20 Federal Reserve Notes carried the phrase "Redeemable in Gold", although they weren't gold certificates. There were also gold certificates with that denomination but they have gold seals and lack the words Federal Reserve Note.

All 1928 $5 Federal Reserve Notes carried the phrase "Redeemable in Gold", although they weren't gold certificates and in fact no gold certificates with that denomination were printed. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1928 A US 5 dollar Federal Reserve Note?" for more information.

Not every old bill is automatically a certificate so it's important to check carefully. If it has a gold seal and says "Gold Certificate", see the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 10 dollar gold certificate?" for values.

See the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 10 dollar Federal Reserve Note?" for values.
