It's an old saying.

You've never heard it before?

i wonder when that phrase started.
cause with inflation 2 cents could be like 20 cents now. what if it was started with confederate money then 2 cents is worthless.
i think im going to switch to gold since it has lasting value.
"thats just my 2 gold nuggets"
or maybe for techimo we could do
"thats just my two sticks of ram"

"My $0.02" = "My opinion"

Opinions followed by "my 2 cents" probably carry about 2% as much weight as statements followed by an "exclaimation point"

"My 2 cents" is just a figure of speech, showing your opinions on things.

^^Just my 2 cents.
