If the paper is folded across the center of the hole, the hole becomes a half-circle that can be flattened out by pulling back the opposite sides of the crease. The hole then becoms a slit whose width is nearly half the circumference of the circle. The answer is a diameter of pi/2 minus the width of the coin which is a little over 1.5 inches.
