I am where penny-smashing and Doctor Who meet
This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands.
I was cruising PennyCollector.com this afternoon and discovered that their location list includes penny machines in Cardiff. Now, as some of you may recall, I was in Cardiff last September specifically to visit locations related to Doctor Who and Torchwood. Weirdly, I did not bother to check PennyCollector.com about whether or not there were penny-smashing machines in the city before I went. Well, turns out that I should have. At the Doctor Who Exhibition (though I didn't see it) there apparently was a machine providing a smashed penny with a TARDIS on it. And apparently there's machine at the Millennium Center also, with four really cool designs.
I feel like an idiot, having missed these. I've written to my penny-smashing cohorts to see if anyone has extras for trade, and I've posted to the LJ Doctor Who community to see if there's anyone in Cardiff willing to make a trip for me. I suspect I'm out of luck but a girl can hope.
Oy.
