Is the imprint normal or mirror-imaged? If it's the normal direction, you might have a nickel that somehow fell into a cent press and was struck twice. However since cents are smaller than nickels, the coin should show some other damage from the press. Regardless, in that case you'll need to have it examined in person by someone who specializes in error coins. If it's a double strike it could have some definite extra value. If the images are reversed, what probably happened is that someone with too much time on their hands put a cent on either side of the nickel and hit it with a hammer, driving a mirror image of the cents into the nickel's surface. If that describes what you have it's considered damaged and is worth exactly 5 cents.

Why is the penny and nickel bigger than the dime?

The size of coins is not directly related to their value. The penny and nickel are larger than the dime because they are made of different metals and were designed at different times with various considerations in mind, such as ease of use and production costs. The dime, despite being smaller, still holds a higher value than the penny and nickel.
