No, no. You simply have too much. Send it to me. Kidding. Anyhoo, it's possible, but if that's the only sign you're seeing, not very likely.

It could be but there are other things that can cause that too. Age has many disadvantages...never get old is what my dad told me. The one sure sign of alziemers is when you go to bed with your wife and wake up in bed with a strange woman. THAT is a sign of alziemers.

There are a number of reasons people forget, cant count money and such things.
Stress is the foremost reason people forget things or have trouble keeping track of things. Another one is simply lack of concentration because other pressing issues in the back of your mind.
If you are consistently (daily) forgetting people's names or where you put the car keys and other things like that - then you might consider getting checked. Even then a highly stressed person can forget the same things.
If having problems like counting money occasionally was a sign of Alzheimers, I would have had it (and millions of others) from the time we are able to talk and walk. Children who are very quick and alert forget simple things.
If you are deeply concerned - see a doctor.

Not necessarily. By the age of 60 the brain has begun to shrink in size. The first thing that goes is nouns. You can't recall names or things, even simple things...the word is just lost to you at the moment. Forgetfulness is normal and it becomes harder to concentrate. You walk to the kitchen and forget what you were going to get. But if you notice it's more difficult to go about your daily routine (you forget how to do something you've done many times with no problem) you might want to check with your doctor.

Is it only the counting of money, not other things?
Perhaps distraction associated with it being money.
Usually it is short-term memory problems that signal the onset of Alzheimer's. When they test you, they give you a list of things verbally, and at some time later ask you to repeat that list.

There can be cognitive changes with age that do not add up to demetia like Alzheimer's.

No, it probably means that you have too much that you keep losing count.
