Not really. I took a screen grab, stuck it Photoshop and then made a brush from a penny to determine the diameter at about 10 pennies across at the height they were stacked.

Now to see if my calculation work out.:eat:

 

I got the identical result using metal calipers on my screen, and adjusting the result based on the size of a cent.
