How to Make a Bunch of Bells on "City Folk"
- 1). Check the town's Lost and Found and the Recycling Bin for items. You can search the lost and found by asking Booker, a dog guard at the town gate. You will find the recycling bin in the town hall. Items -- such as stationery, furniture and clothing -- are often left in the bins. Take any items you find and sell them to Nook at Nookington's for bells.
- 2). Hit the rocks around the town with a shovel. When you tap them with your shovel, you may find that a bag of 100 bells pops out. This will not happen every time, but keep hitting to get multiple bags from a single rock. Pick up the bags of bells and add them to your bank.
- 3). Shake the trees. There are two types of trees: normal trees and ones with fruit. Both types are beneficial. Tap each tree to shake it -- bags of bells may fall out. Collect the fruit when it falls out and sell it to Nook -- fruit is worth 100 bells each and will regrow on the tree.
- 4). Collect seashells. Pick up all the shells you find down the shore line and take them to Nook to sell for bells.
- 5). Collect fossils by digging a hole with your shovel wherever you see a crack in the ground. Take any fossil you get to Blathers to find out what type it is. Take the identified fossil to Nook, who will give you a decent amount of money ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 bells.
- 6). Use your fishing pole to catch fish in both the ocean and river. Cast your line near a shadow in the water and wait for the fish to bite. Tap to pull the fish in once the sinker goes under. Sell the fish to Nook for bells -- the price ranges, depending if the fish is common or rare.
- 7). Collect bugs. Tap the bug while holding your net to catch the bug. Sell the bugs you collect to Nook for bells -- like fish, a bug's value depends on whether it is common or rare.
- 8). Help your fellow neighbors or visitors. Deliver letters or presents and they will reward you with bells or items. Give neighbors items they ask for and get a reward -- if it is an item, sell it to Nook for bells.
