"Young Indiana Jones" was a one-hour television series which ran on the ABC television network from 1992 to 1996. Some were not released at the time but were released on DVDs later in 2007.
 
The series was also shown with the titles: "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" and "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"
 
The program was produced by Amblin Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and Paramount Television. All of the programs were later packaged and edited for DVD release.
 
The program was inspired by the character from the three "Indiana Jones" films released from 1981 to 1989 which starred Harrison Ford as the 1930's archaeologist and adventurer.
 
Indiana Jones here is a young boy and later a young man. The series was set roughly from 1908 to 1920.
 
Some of the episodes show mostly early 1900's US and foreign coins.
 
The DVD cover features American, British, and French coins.
 
Young Indiana Jones - DVD Cover
1. DVD Cover
The DVD cover displays items that a young Indiana Jones might have saved over the years, including some old coins. None of the coins display dates.
 
On the left side, three coins appear, a US Walking Liberty silver half dollar, a French holed copper-nickel 10 centimes, and a Britain King George IV silver half crown.
 
It is interesting to note that the first two coins could have been picked up from circulation at the time (1908-1920), but the British half crown would have been at least 80 years old then. One wonders then, how did he obtain it?
