Most commonly, it would be 2 millimeters. Could be different depending on the context or industry using it.

It means 2 million. One M means a thousand, so MM means one thousand thousand, or a million. It comes from the Roman usage of letters as numbers, where you have I (one), V (five), X (ten), L (fifty), C (hundred), D (five hundred), and M (thousand).
The Greek usage gave us K as one thousand, which some people will alternately use instead of M.
Note: in lower case letters, mm is commonly used to represent millimeters.

It means two million dollars. In banking, "M" means a thousand and "MM" means one million. I don't know why they don't just use "K" to designate a thousand like everybody else, but they don't.

That would be two candy coated chocolates, possibly with peanuts inside.
