I'm new to the world coin forum and am wondering if I could get any help. I have a 1920 2 centavos coin that I don't event know where it's from and the 9 in the date seems to be doubbled! I'm not sure how well the pictures turned out so just tell me if there bad and i'll try to fix them.

It's from Peru, a country that often has overdates and other varieties/errors on its coinage. There were 328,000 minted that year of a design used 1917-49. There is a 1920/7 listed in Krause. Value is probably about $1-$2.

O I was expecting a little more.

Welcome coinfreak!! Your coin is a Peru 2 centavos coin made of copper or bronze (both were used) listed in Krause as KM#212.1 and as : F $1.00, VF 1.75, XF $3.00, UNC $10.00
Here is a picture of my version, a little older but similar:
