ten cents

A dime's value

Ten cents is a small amount of U.S. currency equal to one-tenth of a dollar, represented by a dime.

The phrase often appears in contexts emphasizing minimal value or cost: I wouldn't give ten cents for that old thing.

To put in your two cents (not ten) is to offer an opinion.
