2.5D = 18mm (about the same size as a 3CN which are 17.9mm)
5D = 21.65mm (slightly larger than a nickel which are 21.2mm)
10D = 26.8mm (a quarter is 24.3mm)

Since all of this information is easily available with a quick Google search, the laziness of the OP was met with a +/- 20% margin of error in my response.

Not quite right.
The $2 1/2 is almost the same size as a dime
The $5 is almost the same size as a nickel
The $10 is almost the same size as a quarter
The $20 is larger than the half dollar but smaller than the silver dollar

Aren't you a tad bit ashamed to reveal your innate laziness to all these collectors?
Anyway, I don't want to create a dust up here so I will take to pms to really let you have a piece of my mind.
