from the US Postal Museum website: Congress abolished the postal savings system in 1966 and the Post Office Department stopped accepting deposit on April 27th of that year. On July 1, 1967 unclaimed deposits and interest from 600,000 account holders amounting to $60 million was transferred to the U.S. Treasury. After paying out depositors who came forward, remaining funds were distributed proportionally to states and jurisdictions. The statute of limitations enacted on July 13, 1984 established that no claims for postal savings deposits could be brought after July 13, 1985.

Can you cash a savings certificate that you found?

If you have the original certificate with the number etc. on then, yes, it is POSSIBLE. That is to say that they do not ask for proof of identity but you will have to sign the necessary forms and unless it belongs to someone who is related to you (and you are meant to inform them of a death) it is technically theft from the rightful owner. You should instead contact National Savings & Investments with the number of the certificate and ask if they can help you find the original owner.
