Where does the phrase Two Bits come from?
Two bits. It refers to two pie-shaped eighths, or 'bits', of a silver dollar that was usually cut on a dollar cutting machine (banks had them) mainly used in the old west before they had nickels, dimes, and quarters to make change and buy goods. The guy asks the bartender, "How much for a shot of whiskey?" .... "Two bits." answers the bartender. The guy throws down two pie-shaped eighths of a silver dollar.
