Curious, I "suffer" from a similar problem regarding guitar playing: I tend to lift all the fingers I'm not currently using away from the fretboard as I play, which would make most guitar teachers recoil in horror I imagine. I never got away from this habit, but I can still manage to reach "decent" speeds, despite of this problem. No possibility of putting dimes between fingers and strings in my case, unfortunately!
