Viewing from the side, there are several ways to do it with 5 with

US coins...

...or coins of other countries...

Flat face arcade coins will do. But the 3-D arrangement above looks like it has 7 triangles.

No, you missed the "viewing from the side" part of my post. Viewed from the side, the coins look like lines ;P. Also, the OP doesn't specify the coins have to be the same coin, so you could do it easily by using 2 coins that have a diameter that is 2X and 3 coins that are a diameter of X, which, viewed in the third dimension, are lines with those lengths

;)

Hai! That is yes..5 coins w/ 2 double diamater. Looks like a parallelogram with line in the middle.

OP should say "same coin" but i guess no one use 4 half-cut coins (or bitable coins) to make 8 diameters.

My angles were more...90 degrees ;).

If you want to use the same coin, you can stagger the stacking so that there is 3 coins in 'back' in one direction and 2 coins in 'front in a different direction. Then when you look at it from a front view, it 'seems' to be a grid of intersecting lines that form two rhombuses.

Sorry if I'm going on a completely different tangent than what the OP intended, to be honest, I'm not sure what the OP intends :lol:, but seeing your response to witzar made me think 'outside the box' (or plane of the box ;)) type solutions were acceptable.
