R' MB quoting scjm:
And of course a kid goat is 2 zuzei.



Actually, I don't know if that is so Pashut - see Berachos 44b, where the
Gemara refers to a "Gadya Bar Zuza," and Rashi explains that it's talking
about a kid goat that is "Shamein V'tov, She'shaveh Zuz." What the
significance of the Hagaddah's goat being worth two Zuz is relative to this
Gemara (as my BIL, Meir HaKohen Friedland, pointed out when we were learning
this) escapes me. (if the kid goat is Klal Yisroel, maybe the RBSO
overpaid?)
