I was doing a bunch of searching for this as well and finally stumbled across it.
Night of the Red Hunter is the name of the movie, was shown on Nickelodeon's "Special Delivery" on March 10, 1990
And someone even uploaded it to You Tube:

I'm trying to remember the name of a film I watched on (I believe) Nickelodeon. It probably aired in the mid-to-late 80s.
The main detail I remember was that there were aliens or some other advanced race who had made contact with Earth and at least part of their hiding place was a cave. They had gold discs with an open, geometric pattern hanging in some arrangement, and the main conflict in the film was between the greedy adults who wanted the gold and the children who were trying to protect it. The coins were significant to the aliens for one reason or another — I think it hurt the aliens whenever someone touched it.
