I'd put it in my pocket. If I had an hunch who lost it or could narrow it down to 1-2 people, I would (and have) approached them but otherwise found money is found money unless it's a large amount or in a deposit bag, wallet, etc that offered some clues/ability to verify the person that lost it in which case I'd put in effort proportional to the amount.
I used to find more money as I walk and run but with fewer people using cash and several homeless on the streets downtown it is pretty rare. So far this year I've found 26¢ (a quarter at BWI on Sunday and a penny yesterday when walking to my annual physical). Last year was well under $10 but found a few dollars in change and a few $1 bills.
* I found a debit card not that long ago and googled the person to try to contact them to return it.... the hits indicated this person had multiple violent felony convictions so I shredded it and assumed they'd get a replacement. I wasn't going to risk reaching out to a repeat violent offender.
