tuppence worth

Modest personal contribution

Tuppence worth is a British expression for one's opinion, especially when offered unsolicited: I'll just add my tuppence worth.

Tuppence is two pence—a trivial sum—so the phrase carries self-deprecating modesty about the value of what you're contributing.

The American equivalent is two cents.
