Let's assume the amount of money that the third friend contributed is x.
The second friend contributed 3x
The first friend contributed 2 * 3x = 6x
The total amount contributed is x + 3x + 6x = 10x = 600
So the value of x is 600 / 10 = <<600/10=60>>60
The third friend contributed x = <<60=60>>60 dollars
The second friend contributed 3x = 3 * 60 = <<3*60=180>>180 dollars
The first friend contributed 6x = 6 * 60 = <<6*60=360>>360 dollars. Answer: \boxed{60, 180, 360}.
