Why is 20 gold called the double eagle?

Intially the US currency was meant to be decimal based with five denominations - the Mil, the Cent, the Dime, the Dollar and the Eagle. The Mil, however, was never produced as a separate coin. There were to be 10 Mils to the Cent, 10 Cents to the Dime, 10 Dimes to the Dollar and 10 Dollars to the Eagle. Thus a 20 Dollar coin would be the equivalent of 2 Eagles - a "Double Eagle."
