put in (one's) two pennies (worth)



put in (one's) two pennies (worth)

To share one's opinion, idea, or point of view, regardless of whether or not others want to hear it. Primarily heard in UK. I find Jeff's husband a bit trying at times. He always has to put in his two pennies, even when it's clear he knows nothing about what's being discussed. If I can just put in my two pennies worth, I think the staff would really appreciate a bump in their pay, and productivity would increase as a result.
