i would pick it up when there's no people around, and if there's a lot of people then maybe it was from someone who was just sitting behind it and i would ask him/ her if it was hers, then glad if he is telling the truth, at least i just did my job.

i have, in several occasions, actually seen coins in the taxicab and jeepneys. i pick them up and give them to the driver. i assume that these belong to the driver now as these are inside his transportation. if someone claims them to be his own, he will surely speak up to claim. but, we should be careful, these coins might be purposely dropped by pickpockets to divert a passenger's attention and picks them up, while his other companion picks the passenger's pockets. this is usually how their modus operandi work.

first i'll ask people around me, if no one will claim it, i'll better give it to the poor driver..

Hi, now a days people dont care for a coin, as it cannot fetch much. rather they expect crispy notes. In my case I will pick up the coin and give the same to beggars or children to buy toffees or the poor.

Hi,
it depends on the amount of people around.. if it's really near me, and noone is watching me, I would probably pick it up. Else I would let it be (I don't like much to be in the center of attention) :)
