Code:
//dropping gold
obj/gold/var/amount = 0

obj/gold
   icon = 'gold-bag.dmi'

mob
   verb
      drop_gold()
         var/amount_to_drop = input(usr,"How much gold do you wish to drop?","Gold to Drop?",usr.gold) as num
         amount_to_drop = round(amount_to_drop)
         if(amount_to_drop > usr.gold)
            usr << "You don't even have that much gold to drop."
            return
         if(amount_to_drop < 1)
            usr << "You can not drop less than 1 gold."
            return
         else
            var/obj/gold/bagofgold = new(usr.loc)
            bagofgold.amount = amount_to_drop
            usr.gold -= amount_to_drop
            usr << "You drop [amount_to_drop] gold."
//getting gold
obj
   verb
      get()
         set src in usr.loc
         if(!amount_to_drop)
            usr.Move(src)
            usr.has_items += 1
            usr << "You get [src.name]."


      drop()
         if(src.usage == "Equip")
            usr << "This item is equip right now, remove it first"
            return
         if(src.usage == "None")
            if(src.equip_types == "Weapon")
               set src in usr.contents
               src.loc = usr.loc
               usr << "You drop [src.name]."
               usr.has_items -= 1
            if(src.equip_types == "Armor")
               set src in usr.contents
               src.loc = usr.loc
               usr << "You drop [src.name]."
               usr.has_items -= 1
obj
   gold
      get()
         set src in usr.loc
         usr.gold += amount_to_drop
         usr << "You get [amount_to_drop] gold."
         del(src)


Problem description:Ok now, I need to access the variable amount_to_drop from the drop_gold() verb in order to pick the (right amount of) gold up, but how. What the heck, this is pissing me off.

amount_of_gold is a local variable to the verb drop_gold. It can't be called aside from in that verb after it's declaration.

On the other hand, you can access the object's variable.

obj
   gold
      get()
         set src in usr.loc
         usr.gold += src.amount
         usr << "You get [src.amount] gold."
         del(src)

In response to SSJ2GohanDBGT
It is still not working, even though I'm now accessing the bagofgold.amount as src.amount, it is not working. Once again, here is the code.
//dropping gold
obj/gold/var/amount = 0

obj/gold
   icon = 'gold-bag.dmi'

mob
   verb
      drop_gold()
         var/amount_to_drop = input(usr,"How much gold do you wish to drop?","Gold to Drop?",usr.gold) as num
         amount_to_drop = round(amount_to_drop)
         if(amount_to_drop > usr.gold)
            usr << "You don't even have that much gold to drop."
            return
         if(amount_to_drop < 1)
            usr << "You can not drop less than 1 gold."
            return
         else
            var/obj/gold/bagofgold = new(usr.loc)
            bagofgold.amount = amount_to_drop
            usr.gold -= amount_to_drop
            usr << "You drop [amount_to_drop] gold."
//getting gold
obj
   verb
      get()
         set src in usr.loc
         if(!src.amount)
            usr.Move(src)
            usr.has_items += 1
            usr << "You get [src.name]."


      drop()
         if(src.usage == "Equip")
            usr << "This item is equip right now, remove it first"
            return
         if(src.usage == "None")
            if(src.equip_types == "Weapon")
               set src in usr.contents
               src.loc = usr.loc
               usr << "You drop [src.name]."
               usr.has_items -= 1
            if(src.equip_types == "Armor")
               set src in usr.contents
               src.loc = usr.loc
               usr << "You drop [src.name]."
               usr.has_items -= 1
obj
   gold
      get()
         set src in usr.loc
         usr.gold += src.amount
         usr << "You get [src.amount] gold."
         del(src)

Either I access the amount or not, it is not helping.
