Some do $25, $50 or $100. Do what you can. They will be happy either way.

I think it really depends on how close to the bride/groom you are, and what your financial situation is. I think that if you are a casual friend with a normal income $25 is ok, if you are a friend with a decent income $50 - $100, if you are a close family member $50 - $100 depending on income, if you are a sibbling or parent of bride/groom with a decent income I wouldn't go lower than $100, and if you are loaded then I wouldn't go lower than $100, close loaded sibbling or parent just pay for the dang wedding LOL
Hope I've helped.

Money is actually not the best gift to give, etiquette-wise. And when it is given, it is something given from the older generation to the younger. You shouldn't gift money to a friend or someone in your peer group (for age).
There is no expected amount, and the "cover your plate" thing is an etiquette MYTH. You gift based on your affection for the couple and the flexibility of your own budget.

it depends on your relationship and number of people attending with you. if this is your friend, then $25, plus $25 for any extra person you bring as guest. if it's family member, and you're older than the bride/groom, then $100 and $100 for every extra guest. if you're younger, then $50 and $50 for your guest.

Are you asking permission to ask for money instead of gifts? If so, then the answer is "nothing." Telling someone what to give you is really, really out of line.
If you're asking how much money should you give someone instead of giving a conventional gift, then the answer is "whatever your budget can handle." If it's $15, then that's what you should give. If you can afford a more substantial sum, then that's what you should consider giving.

That depends on how well you know the person. We usually always try to give back what we think they are spending on us as far as the reception goes. So if me and my fiance are going to a wedding of just friends we give about $200. If we are really close friends we might give a little extra.

$100

I've been told that proper etiquette states you give a gift that will cover the cost of the meal at the reception.
If you bring a guest, twice as much.

I hate giving money, however if I ever give money I give a crisp $50 bill in a fun card.
