Where's that extra penny going?

You usually think your thoughts are worth more than other people might.
As for the extra penny? Well, the exchange rate is confusing.

It's actually a three penny difference. You get paid a "penny for your thoughts", but you have to pay "put your two cents in".

Because my opinion is more expensive when I give it but I am only willing to pay a penny for someones thoughts.

My guess is that it has something to do with the saying (you don't have two red cents to rub together). It also always costs you more to speak your mind truthfully then to get someone else to tell you what they think.

Have you seen the exchange rate recently? The dollar is weak, that is why you need two cents.

Good customer service is giving just a little more than the customer paid for!

Because the mind works like a bank.
You pay more interest and get back less.
