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?

It is a cultural phrase that originated during the United States Civil War that means to offer your opinion or thoughts on a topic. You are giving your two cents worth, which historically equaled one penny, and people were encouraged to “put their two cents in” with their thoughts on topics.
