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” came from an old expression that referred to “a penny for your thoughts”, implying that a person was being asked to contribute their ideas and opinions for free. The expression has become somewhat metaphorical, meaning to add your own thoughts or comments on a subject without being asked to do so.
