It says it on the bottom of the bottles. Plus it Says 1881 thru 1991? City wasn't around then. I'm confused. Lol

Silver Dollar City is always stuck in 1881 and the bottle was probably made in 1991.  It sounds like the 1881 thru 1991 was just a promotional line for the product.

Pintrader is likely right on the money. Coke has hundreds of promotional issues. I have the Coke "silver dollars" that were souveniers offered back in June, '74. There have been promotional issues with SDC, Whitewater, and other parks for years. Right now I've got a can of Coke in the refrigerator, full of Coke, for a discount ticket to Splash Country, a water park. I'll drink the Coke and pitch out the can.

Ah, wow, at first I thought you were talking about the normal coke promotion stuff. Interesting that they were able to actually stamp the glass. I wonder if they can even still do that these days with all the mass-automation.

I remember going to SDC as a kid (in the 80s) and buying Coke in glass bottles. By then, Cokes wasnt in glass bottles anymore elsewhere, so maybe Coke collaborated with SDC and made a special line just for the park?

I have several of these at home. It seems I remember some sort of special promotion in the early 90's.
