count the number of cells with a date <= today's date

[Cachod1]

I need to count the number of cells in a column that contain a date that is
<= today's date. I've tried using a COUNTIF formula but it's not working.
HELP!

If the data is in cells A1:A3

=COUNTIF(A1:A3, "<="&TODAY())

This formula will also count any other number that is NOT a date, as though
it WAS a date............
