ORIGINAL: Asherdelampyr How much are 2 bits worth? what the hell are bits? the only ones I am familiar with are the ones that refer to computer programs.... and sure kitten, you want to play with Aylee and she wants to play with you go ahead... Two bits are worth 25 cents. It dates from colonial days, when a common unit of currency was the Spanish milled dollar. As a way of making change, these dollars were often cut into eight pie-slice shaped pieces, called bits. Hence, two bits being a quarter dollar.
