    Insignificant lost property has no value; if one announces it, there is nothing wrong with that, and if one consumes it, there is nothing wrong with that, and if one gives it in charity, there is nothing wrong with that, because it is insignificant and may not be worth announcing it. loose change,Ten, twenty or thirty , nowadays such lost property is not important, so if you give it in charity on behalf of its owner, there is nothing wrong with it, and if you use it there is nothing wrong with it, and if you leave it there is nothing wrong with it.

    it is not stealing at all but if you knew the owner by a way or another then you should give it back to him.

    and Allah knows the best.

    of course not, unless it's in someones wallet. If you find $20 dollars on the ground and announce it then 20 or so people will claim it lol

    leave it. it's true owner might come back and pick it up. you'll cause trouble to him/her if you take it and when he/she comes lookin for it, doesn't find it.

    also, there are instructions about what to do with stuff you find. you'll need to announce it for a year or longer, so instead of puttng yourself in so much trouble it's best not to pick anything up from the ground.
