I was wondering, and since this forum is an international thing, In North america we have a saying that goes "Giving my two cents" or something like that, it means having your say no matter how small in a conversaiton. I was wondering, what about places where there is not 1 cent coin?

In Germany it's "seinen Senf dazu geben" ("adding one's mustard") ... but I'm not sure where that comes from...

it does make sense, and I think It's an interesting question. I suppose in different countries and languages there are different sayings for adding your little thoughts into a conversation.

In Australia we did away with our one & two cent coins - lowest is five cents now so everything gets rounded up or down when you pay with cash - but the saying still has the same meaning here.
