Back To Sahara And Confederate $20 Gold

At least in Hawii Five-O the guy put on white gloves before handling a 1913 Lib Nickel.

These little "oops" in Hollywood used to be a lot more common until the producers and directors started realizing that we nitpickers are very numerous and very vocal... and we watch movies. I still get very upset when I see a Civil War movie and they're using Model 73 Winchesters and Colt revolvers or trapdoor Springfield rifles. Or they have the Pony Express running in 1883. Or loop cartridge belts with cap-and-ball revolvers. Or the 7th Cavalry with saddles with pommels. Or Sitting Bull riding with Geronimo. Or 4-6-0 locomotives in the 1840s. Or European single-axle instead of dual-axle trucks under box cars in westerns. John Ford and "spaghetti" westerns were notorious for these little anachronisms. More recently, a movie showed a satellite going overhead beeping out "CQ" in Morse Code (a common ham radio prosign for "calling anyone"); actually, there have been quite a few recent movies where signalling devices were purportedly sending out Morse, but were actually sending nonsense. And the wigwag scenes in Gettysburg and Gods and Generals were absolutely preposterous.
