Im looking for a photo of a COORS beer can with two round push type
openings. I saw them in Denver in 1977. Im not sure if other companies sold
this type or not. Some friends thought I was pulling their leg when I
described them. Any info or photo would be helpfull.

I have some of them in my beer can collection, you are correct, I think I
have some 12oz, 7 oz and a 16 oz that has 2 small holes you had to push them
to open them, and they were a pain to use, coors was the only one testing
this style to replace the pull tabs, falls city beer, designed the current
pop top was the choice of pop top we all use today. I remember getting the
falls city beer and Coors hole tops in 1976-77 and looking at them. If you
want, I will take a picture of them, and post it here. My collection is all
boxed up and might take me awhile to find them.
But you are Correct! and you can show this message to your friend. Coors was
the only company I know of that marketed them, and it was easy to cut your
finger in these holes, so the idea failed. The falls city design caught on
in the 80's when cans went to all Alum vice Steel cans. Now everyone uses
that design and Alum construction. Pull tabs are gone.
I have various types of tops used back then, in my can collection, some are
interesting and some are weird.

Genesee Brewing Co. out of Rochester, NY also tried the 2 hole design in the
late 70`s. The stores were having problems with the kids, they kept popping the
little holes on the cans.
