I'm trying to figure out the monetary value of 2 bits. I'm not sure if it's a common expression or an actual measurement of currency, but I need to know how much it's worth in terms of money.

This slang term originates from the meaning of the word "bit," which historically referred to one eighth of a U.S. dollar.

Interestingly, when monetary amounts were counted in bits, they were only ever given in multiples of two.
