What's the smallest amount of money you would pick up?
I went into the road in front of a bus today to pick up a 2p coin.  Usually I lob 1p coins for some lucky 5 year old, finding one always used to make me day when I was that age.
Most people I know would pick up a 5p from the floor but find anything less too demeaning.

Quarter. Mainly because they have so many uses (unlike pennies, which have very few)

I pick everything up, unless they are suspiciously covered in slime. I'm about as poor as you can get.

10p.
Pennies and two pences I never spend, so have no reason to pick up. 5p pieces I would pick up if they weren't so damn small. Generally they evade my fingers, and take two or three attempts to pick up, making me look desperate or retarded.

I'd pick up anything silver usually, though I will pass it up sometimes too. (US currency)

I figure that if it takes 2 seconds to pick up a penny, that comes to $10.80/hr. Not awful, but sometimes I'll skip pennies. Anything larger I'll nab.

I think you'd get slowed down a bit after stuffing the first couple hundred into your pockets.

I pick up quarters and sometimes dimes.
But I guess it could be worth bending over for any money.

Me and a couple of friends were walking home from school one day and stumbled upon a 50 on the ground, 50 dollar bill that is not a half dollar, it took a second before one of my friends started chasing it (its alwasy windy up here) they eventually got it. Lucky bastard, I should have ran after it!

WTF? A quarter is a jackpot. I'd pick up anything more than 1c.
