Went to the bank today to get some pennies and nickles to start sorting again and out of the 30 rolls of pennies and 20 rolls of nickles i got, 20 rolls of pennies were all new 2014 ones and 10 of the nickles were new 2014 ones. Are these worth to sell/keep or should i just take them back?
On the other hand the 10 rolls had about 35% CU so that wasn't too bad.

Take them back to the bank and tell the teller you wanted rolls of old pennies not new ones. Their business customers prefer those shiny new rolls over assorted customer wrapped rolls anyway so you'll be doing them a favor by exchanging them.

Its' crazy how many new 2014 penny rolls I have seen this year. Is the mint pumping out one last blitz of pennies before they announce they are doing away with the cent? Every time I pick up pennies at the bank now upwards of half my rolls are 2014. Occasionally I will time it right and come in for a pick up after some one has dropped off a batch of their own rolled pennies. The time is coming gang. Sort while you can.
Keep stacking.

Keep stacking.
Good observation and recommendation as they may be. My stacking has slowed down for the summer months but maybe it's time to try to add to the pile.
