Yes I do I have to spill my purse out on counter in shops for help with coins @cracker. As I have neurology also so my fingers get numb and tingling

I am relieved, sorry you have this problem, too, @glittery. I read once that not being able to handle money was an early sign of dementia, and have been troubled by that. Now that I know I am not losing my mind, I feel much better.

Awe bless you..you can still count money ? Then you not being able to get coins or notes out is I found mine oestoarthritis and nerve endings in my fingers. I loose sensation now typing this reply to you . The numbness is annoying me the most .

Annoying is right. I try to put the bills in neat order. end up just having a crumpled up ball which I give to my aide to hold for me.
Typing is so difficult, too. When my thumb joints displace, it's impossible until I get the joint back together.
So good to have your understanding, thank you.
