Practice by yourself at home maybe?

How?

I misunderstood, and thought you meant you had trouble with the counting. But you could still write out a money amount and then practice going through your purse and wallet to count out the money, until you get faster at it.

I'm honestly not sure how to reply. In general: identify what's causing you trouble, and repeat it at home by yourself or with a friend until you get used to it? That's how you practice anything you're not good at, but wish to improve. What I do is:

1) Sort your bills by denomination in ascending or descending order. In my wallet, I put larger bills at the back, smaller bills up front. If you like, you can also slip colored pieces of paper to mark the difference between, say, twenties and tens. It helps you keep track of how much you've got at any one time. Oh, and I keep an emergency twenty tucked in a different part of my wallet, so I don't accidentally run out of money.

2) Keep a change purse. If you are super-organized, consider having separate coin purses for quarters, one for dimes/nickles, and one for pennies. Thin it down so you're not carrying around pounds of change at once. You can practice making change yourself, just pick a number between 1 and 100 and test yourself on how quickly you can make change.

3) Easiest way is to round up. Your purchase is $6.34? Round that up to seven, which is a five and two one-dollar bills, or a ten. You'll collect more change this way, but you can organize them at home and either roll them up yourself and change them for bills at the bank, or use one of those coin sorting machines and pay a surcharge.

But really, it's mostly a matter of practice.
