<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2223219, member: 26302&quot;]I support the notion it comes from the Bible passage relating to the poor widow who threw in her last two lepta. It got converted to mite in the King James version to make it &quot;contemporary&quot;, but modern Bibles would update the story to penny. The reason for the update was the story was about a woman who donated two of the lowest value coins in circulation, so a penny, (or cent), would be the apt update.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, &quot;throw in my two cents worth&quot; would mean I contributed to an extent, but I know my contribution is probably not as valued or valuable as others. Exactly what the phrase means today really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
