    Coin in a bottle?

    Years ago, I read that in order to keep moonshiners from reusing whiskey bottles, a coin of some sort was molded into the base of the bottle to encourage the end-user to break the bottle for the coin. Is there any truth to this story? If so, has anyone found one? (It is a novel idea).

    I love the end of that little notice - "The broken glass may be disposed of conveniently, with your old razor blades, in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado"
