I am where penny-smashing and Doctor Who meet

[scarlettina]

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.

if it helps, it looks like that posting was made after your trip. so maybe you didn't see the machine because it wasn't there yet.

Okay, so maybe I'm not quite the moron I was feeling like... ::grin:: It does help. We'll see!
