The 1964 film "A Hard Day's Night" follows the British musical group "The Beatles", from Liverpool to London where they are to perform on a television show.
 
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are accompanied by Paul's grandfather.
 
The film shows some 1960's British money in a scene where Ringo enters a pub where some men are playing a board game for small change.
 
The coins shown are from the £sd (pounds-shillings-pence) system, before Britain converted it's currency to a decimal system in 1971.
