Meaning, since the coffee costs 10 cents, "xxx" isn't worth anything. Obviously, "10 cents" shows this is a very old idiom.Pete used "five bucks" and "Starbucks" since that's about what coffee costs here at Starbucks.OBTW, always take what Pete says with a (very large) grain of salt. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> (Another idiom.)Welcome to the site. Great shot, too!</blockquote>
