Some say that the term 'my two cents worth' refers to a politeness and modesty of character that you do not often find today. To say that your opinion is only worth two cents meant that it was only a 'humble opinion'.
Others rumor that two cents refers to the cost of postage at the time and it would cost two cents to send your letter to the editor, the president or anyone worthy of the cost of your opinions.
Still others believe that 'two cents' comes from 'two bits' the amount of ante in a poker game. Hence, your 'two cents' is your entry into the conversation.
Regardless of why we say it… make sure you get the chance to put in your two cents with these t-shirts and buttons.
