  When the contribution system method came in in the early nineties, we were instructed NOT to ask, in the UK..[Charity rules we were told] If the H/H said "How much is it?" we said that they may contribute as they see fit...Very few people asked, though l recall a daft old lady who wanted to give us a £10 note - we refused because she did not seem to be fully "cognizant"...

  In the old days we used to only leave lit. for the money . I recall the childhood mag presentation that always ended "two for ten pence"

  Not as much as Oompa but I was able to get $10.00 once, besides that none.

  I go back to the early and mid-1960s when we "placed Literature" for a "contribution" of xxxx. We often would "throw in" extra or older mags, like a little bonus to the householder.
