The original expression refers to paper money, which some considered "not worth the paper it was printed on."

Whatever is being written on the paper (your idea) is so pointless/bad/stupid/wrong that it is not worth the two cents that went into buying the paper.

i.e. Your idea was so bad it wasn't even worth the extremely small amount of money that it cost to buy the paper.
