If I see anything worth 5p or more in change I'll take it. I also spread 1p coins across the land when I have some spare, because I like the thought of an idle-minded toddler getting excited at finding money on the floor. Ahh, youth.

I know this is going to sound really pretentious, but I really hate change. So much so that I actually find it more of a pain to pick it up and use it than to leave for someone else to pick up. I'd pick up a quarter, loonie, or toonie if I saw it, but no pennies, nickels, or dimes.
The way I see it: It's a pain in the ass for me, but it could make someone else's day so it's better for everyone.

I don't really grab pennies, but I go for anything a quarter and upwards.
I also found a 50 dollar bill in the snow once.

i like in the UK, so curency wise if a bit different. generally more than 20p and i'll pick it up, my girlfriend picks up everything, sometimes thinks she'll look cheap and gets me to do it xD
largest amount i found was £20 note on the floor, was pretty damn pleased ^-^

My brother and I found over $80 once in the early 90's (inflation tracker says that's $130 now) in a used-goods store. We gave it to the management, then claimed it after the 30 day waiting period.
Pretty much, if it's bills I usually always try to find out who they belong to, but keep them if there's no authority.
I also go for nickels, but save all my pennies as well--seldom pick them up, though.
Then again, I have over $60 in cans saved in my back yard right now.

Interesting thing I've noticed. I was recently in Scotland, where they use the English Pound. Weird thing is, even though one pound is about 2 dollars, the English have coins that go all the way up to 2 pounds; one coin with the purchasing power of four dollars. Yeah, you don't see much loose change floating around the streets of Scotland.
Ha, I wouldn't pick up anything lower than a 50p, unless I was having a really good day, then 20p and 10p would be picked up.
When I was a kid, my siblings (2) practiced playing music in some orchestra or something, but it was held in a school or something. My dad and me would get their early and walk around finding vast ammounts of money, £10 (under mostly, around £5) was probably the most we got, I wouldn't be able to remember. But I think my dad would either split it half way, or let me buy stuff, like lego, bionicle or digi/poke-mon toys.
Pity lego is so expensive now, otherwise I'd go out tomorrow and buy some for nostalgia-ing.
