John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison of The Beatles pose together on a doorstep.

A decade together brought The Beatles more money than they could spend. They also made more than they seemed to know how to handle. The band received allowances but never carried cash on them. They weren’t sure how much money they were making, and one member of the band admitted he didn’t know what British currency looked like.

None of The Beatles brought money to a restaurant

In 1967, The Beatles traveled to Wales by train, and the crush of fans at the station meant they had been separated from their assistants. This was a big problem for the band because their assistants held all their money. Untroubled, they still decided to go out to dinner and found themselves facing a rightfully frustrated server when the bill came.
