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 an expression meaning to offer your opinion or contribution to a discussion, regardless of its worth. Although it is “two cents”, figuratively, it could be understood that you are adding to the conversation, so to speak. The extra penny is a figure of speech used to express the opinion that whatever you have to say is worthy of more than a mere penny.
