I think in today’s context, coins and $2 angpao are out. At least $4 for someone you don’t even know is common and normal nowadays.

Observed that $4 and $6 is the norm this year. So $4 is still fine.
For us, we adopted $6 as we’ve 3 kids. Only those special cases, then we would give more eg. $10. -
For someone I know like friend’s children, neighbours and relative’s children should be at least $10. If not, people will talk behind.

Our $2 angpows are now solely for maids who serve you tea at friends’/relatives’ home.

I think it depends more on \"rank\". Eg. for cousins' kids, maybe it's $6 but for those closer ones or you are considered as zhang bei, of course you need to give more. It also depends on the no. of kids.
Within my hubby's family (sisters), the std rate for angpow is $20 per child regardless how many children you have. Eg. we've 3 while most have 2 or 1. The one with 1 will end up giving alot more to all. Then how???? ask her to have more kids then :? -
Today start school liao, so have to give ang pow to bus driver, garbage collectors, postman, office security.......aiyoh!
Dunno my DH drama or what....
Anyone can share how much to give school bus uncle? thx

Oh, the $10 I'm talking about is for children. For more senior, those relatives who are still single in their 40's or 50's we didn't give. Even we give they also won't take. For those directly related to us like my and my spouse parents and grandparents then we definifetly have to give more like in hundreds.KSP:
