Usually used when someone doesn't  take a part in a converstation or doesn't give his opinion (say what he/she thinks) about a given situation- work as a kind of invitation, as if you're saying: " Just speak., I'll pay you if necessary ...." :-) and insist on it...

One of the oldest phrases that is used very commonly. It is used to pull out someone from a deep thought and to encourage him to share his thoughts.

Example:

To day you are looking very happy. I'll give you a penny for your thoughts.

You look so entranced and deep in thought that it would be worth paying you to share those thoughts with me!
