Has everyone completely forgotten about Google? I feel like a lot of the posts on this sub are just silly. Why wouldn’t you just use the tried and true search engine? Is it some sort of attention-seeking thing?

This is the answer when your question was copy/pasted into Google.

“Pennies on the dollar” is a term often heard in money talks. It’s used to describe **a situation where you’re getting something for significantly less than its original price**. Suppose you find a brand-new bicycle that usually costs $100, but you snag it for $10. You just got a deal for pennies on the dollar!”
