First of all the U.S. mint has never minted a $20 silver coin period. It is a private mint issue by the American mint, not the United States Mint. It is not considered a coin but a medal or token. Sometimes private mints do make coins for other countries, that actually commemorate an advent that happened in the U.S. or a famous person. They usually have little value on the secondary market. Some that say they are silver do in fact, only have a thin layer of silver over a cheap metal. Try a coin dealer and see what he has to say. I bet he agrees with me, he can check the silver content though.

Amanda, that would depend on several factors. Since the US has not minted a 20 dollar SILVER coin in a long time, your coin is most likely a commemorative duplicate. If that is the case, it is worth whatever the coin's silver content is according to weight. Unfortunately, this is not likely to be $20.
On the other hand, some commemorative 'coins' (they should really be called medallions since they are not 'legal tender') have what is called numasmistic value, or, in other words collector value. This value depends on the medallions rarity, condition, valuable metal content and age.
Look on the web under 'coin collecting' or 'collecting commemorative coins' and you might find a listing of prices.
