Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

        I'm not sure if this $1 coin collection (they will also do a series of president's heads on a series of coins, starting with John Adams) will work - although they are hoping it will be like the 25ยข series and be a big hit.

        I'm just not sure a $1 coin will ever catch on here in the States.

        IMO, the Mint has proven the coin is a loser. It's to big and heavy,
        not to mention the ugly designs. Fortunately, so far, not a single one
        has crossed my palm. The diameter should fall between the nickel and
        quarter. Thin and milled edge like the dime. Solid silver. Lady Liberty
        No religious messages.

        The lack of a religious message was actually an imperfection that only was released on a certain number of coins. The Mint caught this and has since corrected it, now minting the $1 coins with "In God We Trust."

        It's mandated by law. It should be "We Trust Each Other", after all, that's what we're
        doing when we pass the stuff around.
