It is an American version of the British phrase 'my two pennies worth' used to preface the tentative stating of one's non contentious opinion. There is an oblique reference in the Gospel of St Mark when a poor widow put two coins into the offering. It also has links to a 16th Century expression 'a penny for your thoughts but I got two pennies worth'
