Jane Callahan is quite pleased with herself; $1$ year ago she purchased a $$60,000$ government bond paying $7\mathrm{.}7\%$ per year $($with interest paid every $6$ months$)$ and maturing in $10$ years, and interest rates have come down since then.

The current interest rate on $10-$year government bonds is $6\mathrm{.}5\%.$ If she were to auction the bond at the current interest rate, how much would she get? $($Round your answer to the nearest cent.$)$
