double eagles

Old gold twenties

Double eagles are gold coins worth twenty dollars, minted by the United States from 1849 to 1933.

The name reflects their value—twice that of the ten-dollar eagle.

In golf, a double eagle is three strokes under par on a single hole, also called an albatross: She made a double eagle on the par five.
