A "Doubled Die" error on a coin is the result of a fault in the die manufacturing process creating either a fully complete image at an angle to the original or, most commonly, what might appear as a blurred image on the coin such as you may get if you move a camera at the point of taking the photo. Such dies should never reach the point of striking a coin.
The term "Doubled Die" should not be confused with the terms "Die Clash", which is the obverse and reverse dies meeting without a blank between them giving a slight mirror image on both sides of the coin, or a "Double Strike" which is the same blank being struck twice by the same dies.

Not if it is a modern coin. Modern coin minting equipment has the obverse (heads) and the reverse (Tails) dies "keyed" meaning that you can't insert an obverse die where the reverse die goes and vice versa. Because of it, it is impossible to have what most people think of a double headed coin. It is however possible to have what is known as a "Brockage" error where a coin gets stuck to the die and then the coin acts as a die for the next coin. This would mean that a coin could have 2 heads, but one side would be a reverse image of the other side.
