Your tanks should have a date or dates stamped on the hand hold ring. Propane tanks have a 12 year cycle. They have to be inspected after that, or you will not be able to get them serviced.

I just went though the whole propane tank thing. Our tanks are 12-years old (horizontal) and no one will fill them. They have to be certified and I could not find anyone that would certify my horizontal tanks because replacing the OPD valve is part of the certification. It's cheaper to buy new tanks (in CA) than to certify the old ones.
You can use the cheaper vertical tanks but (if yours are horizontal) you have to customize the brackets to secure them when traveling. Then when you set up, you have to take them out of the brackets and set then on the ground to use them. Then, put them back when you get ready to move again...... giant PITA.
