Animal Crossing Donation Box Exploit Offers Easy Way To Make Bells

A player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has discovered a Donation Box exploit that makes it quick and easy to get lots of Bells, the title’s in-game currency. Animal Crossing‘s Donation Box was added as part of the November 2.0 update, which introduced a host of new items, features, and gameplay elements such as cooking, farming, and more.

Bells play an important role in Animal Crossing, as they’re required for everything from purchasing new items to paying off home loans. Bells have only grown more important following the game’s large update last year, with users now needing to unlock vendors at Harv’s Island’s Shopping Plaza. While there are lots of ways to make money in the game, it can take a long time to collect the necessary funds for all the home upgrades, bridges, inclines, and other unlocks players might want for their islands, and users are always looking for new ways to make lots of Bells in Animal Crossing.

Redditor and Animal Crossing fan taiwan-numba-one recently came across a new way to make Bells fast in the game, with some help from their island Donation Box. The user discovered that selling their Donation Box at Nook’s Cranny nets not only the value of the Box itself, but also double the amount of the Bells inside, as long as the Donation Box is the Nooks’ Hot Item of the day. According to the post, the player was able to secure themselves a cool 41,920 Bells by selling a Box containing 20,000 Bells while it was their Hot Item, doubling the 20,000 Bell contents and adding 1,920 Bells for the Box itself.

The user’s clever discovery to help players make Bells in Animal Crossing could make lots of money very quickly, but there’s just one hiccup. Hot Items are randomly selected items from the game catalog that the Nook twins will pay over the odds for – but getting the Donation Box as the Hot Item is a very slim chance. Still, those who check their Hot Items daily might want to keep an eye out for the Donation Box being listed, as it could easily make them a Bell-ionaire.

Those who want to make money in Animal Crossing without waiting for the Donation Box as their Hot Item might have luck with friends, or through online communities. Animal Crossing trading website Nookazon gives players the opportunity to visit users’ islands who have special NPCs visiting, or high Turnip prices, so it’s very possible users may open up their islands to online players should they have the Donation Box as a Hot Item. If not, fans can try their luck with taiwan-numba-one’s Bell-making tip on their own islands, and hope the Nook twins are looking for Donation Boxes sooner rather than later.
