The US nickel has been essentially the same size since its introduction in 1866, about 21 mm. There were minuscule adjustments during the first few years of issue but that's all.
The US also issued a different 5-cent coin called a half-dime that was much smaller, because it was made of silver and copper instead of nickel and copper. This coin was discontinued back in 1873.
If your coin looks like a modern nickel but is much smaller it's almost certainly a replica made for a set of novelty items rather than a real coin. These are quite common but can cause confusion if they're broken out of the sets they came in.

What president is on the dollar coin?
Again, I assume this is about US money. There are two dollar coins currently in production (but not used much) that are about the size of a quarter. One has Sacagawea on it and was introduced in 2000; the other carries portraits of US presidents in order of their terms in office and was introduced in 2007. The Presidential Dollar series is now minted only for sale to collectors, but those from the first few years may occasionally surface in circulation. At the end of 2012, this series had featured every president from Washington through Cleveland (second term). Before those were introduced, small-size dollars were minted that carried a portrait of Susan B. Anthony. These were issued for circulation only in 1978, 1979, and 1999 and also occasionally turn up in circulation. From 1971 to 1978 a much larger coin, the size of a silver dollar, was used, bearing the profile of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

When was eisenhauer on a dollar?
To clarify, that's Eisenhower, not "eisenhauer". His picture was on $1 coins minted from 1971 to 1978. These were the last large size (38.1 mm) $1 coins minted for circulation. They were replaced with small dollars (26.5 mm) starting in 1979. All circulation Eisenhower dollars were made of copper-nickel and have little or no extra value. Some collectors' version were struck in 40% silver and are worth a premium that depends on their date and variety.

What years were nickel made of silver?
Canadian Coins called nickels have never been made from silver. Up to 1921 Canada minted silver 5¢ coins that were the same size as old American half-dimes but these weren't called nickels. In 1922 Canada changed its 5¢ coin to be the same size as the US nickel, and these coins carry the same name. However unlike the US coin which is actually 75% copper the majority of Canadian nickels have been made of either pure nickel or plated steel.
