The competent handling of money is an essential basis for living independently. Seventy-eight consecutively admitted patients to a geriatric hospital underwent the Timed Test of Money Counting (TTMC) which measures patients' ability to open a purse, take out all the money and count it. Further assessment included Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index of ADL, Self-maintaining and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), grip strength and Williams' Board Test.

The TTMC was reliable (inter-rater and intra-rater) and showed construct and concurrent validity with other measures of physical function. Unlike many other physical performance tests the TTMC is quickly performed and requires no special equipment or training.

Revision received August 15, 1994.
