The general concensus is that it's of Mexican origin with no way to tell how old it is.

And no, I won't be storing change in them anymore.

I picked up a couple big water bottles to store coinage in. (I know, terrible) But the latest acquisition really perked my interest. The first bottle is high quality glass, with no bubbles, and is marked on the bottom with the OI with a diamond logo / 8 // 1/ 1932. I don't know if that means it was made in 1932, but it was a neat find for $15. BUT, the even cooler piece is totally unmarked, a greenish color, full of fizzy bubbles, and a couple huge silver dollar bubbles. It was a steal in my mind at $5. My questions are: How old is this guy approx? Who most likely made it? Is it valuable? Should I be storing hundreds of pounds of change in it? Thanks for your help.
