"Dennis the Menace" was a half-hour television program which ran on the CBS Television Network from 1959 to 1963. The program was based on the popular comic strip written by Hank Ketcham which ran from 1951 to 1994. Dennis Mitchell is a mischievous little boy living with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are a middle-aged childless couple living next door. Dennis is always pestering Mister Wilson who doesn't want him around. The episodes starred Jay North as Dennis Mitchell, Joseph Kearns as Mister (George) Wilson, Gloria Henry as Alice Mitchell, Herbert Anderson as Henry Mitchell, and Sylvia Field as Mrs. Wilson. Several episodes of the program deal with and show various United States coins and coin collecting supplies as Mister Wilson is a dedicated coin collector or numismatist whose main interest is collecting United States coins. He keeps and shows his coins in a specially made suitcase with trays. Dennis sometimes becomes involved with Mister Wilson's coin activities. Mr. Wilson sometimes uses a book which is the "Red Book", a well-known coin book. The "Red Book" is A Guide Book of United States Coins, by R. S. Yeoman (Author), Kenneth Bressett (Editor), published yearly since 1947, now by Krause Publications. The book has a red cover, hence the name.
