Oh no, that's quite common. You're legs remember how to walk, your 
fingers remember how to hold a pen, and with sufficient practice, your 
fingers can learn to type numbers even if you can't remember what the 
hell the numbers are. I've seen people pretend to type a number just so 
that they can figure out what the number is.

If you think that's weird, I can play the Widor Toccata despite not 
remembering what the notes are...
