De'vID, you crack me up. I'm sure that you know that he meant *2 cents*.
Right? Perhaps one could say *Here's my 2 cents*.
(btw, I couldn't put a *laH* in there to add the *could* concept, so I added
the *yajlu'meH* to get the idea across. jIQap'a'? I'm not sure of the origin
of the expression "2 cents worth", so I don't know how well anyone would
understand the colloquialism anyway. I've re-read the idiom section of KGT
and found no equivalent.)

grammarians:
can the verb *ghaq* have an object?
is the *'e'* string correct?
