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” refers to adding your opinion or contribution to the discussion. The extra penny is simply used to express that one is making an effort and contributing their two cents worth. The extra penny is optional, so it doesn’t really go anywhere. In some cases, it may be used to emphasize the point you are trying to make.
