'Two a penny' nghĩa là phổ biến, thừa thãi, nhiều,... và vì vậy thường 'ít giá trị' (tầm thường).

Ví dụ
Automated car plants are two-a-penny now, but in 1979 this was science fiction-made-reality.

Graphic prints of it (Battersea Power Station) are two a penny across the capital, but I'm fond of them because the power station is my near neighbour.

Jose Mourinho wasn’t brave enough to manage a team that played attacking football because he isn’t a creative (sáng tạo) coach (huấn luyện viên). He was a destructive (phá hoại, phá hủy, tàn phá, hủy diệt) coach, and they are two a penny.

While cooking your own steak on a hot stone is nothing new, and simple salads featuring fresh seasonal ingredients are two a penny these days in Dublin, what sets Rustic Stone apart is its merging off all these different culinary components on the same menu.
