 DATE: While an exact date for this episode is not apparent, it  appears to be occurring in the late 19th century. Early in this  episode, Royal Wilder offers the "nephews" an Indian nickel if they  behave well on their vacation. They then proceed to bargain for a  Silver Dollar to split between them. The "Indian nickel" (aka  Buffalo nickel) was not minted until 1913 and the nickels of that  era were Liberty nickels with a few older Shield nickels last minted  in 1882 still floating around in circulation. There were also Indian  pennies in circulation at that time. In any event, the coinage  doesnt match the time period.
