How big is a 1.25 inch button?

How big is a 2.25 inch button?
A good way to visualize the size of a 2.25 inch round button is to think of the size of the top of a soda pop can. The 2.25 inch is known for being a standard size for election buttons, campaign buttons, and political buttons. It is also a great size for photo buttons.
