Why do you have to “put your two cents in” when it is really only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny going to?

The phrase "put your two cents in" is figurative language, meaning to contribute to the discussion by sharing your opinion or thoughts. The additional cent is being used figuratively to mean your effort in contributing to the conversation.
