The idiom "hill of beans" originates from the United States and was popularized in the mid-20th century. It is used to describe something as insignificant, unimportant, or of minimal value, much like a pile of beans would be considered a small and relatively worthless quantity. The expression may have derived from the idea that a hill of beans, in comparison to other commodities, would not amount to much and thus came to represent a lack of significance or worth.
