(where does that >expression originate from, anyway? that "two cents worth" stuff) The expression you mention comes from betting. I'll see you and raise you one. It just means my opinion. That is one source. A similar one is "stick my nose in it."---meaning to butt in or give an opinion. I wouldn't use this kind of expressions in formal writings, though. Hope this helps...
