Rock

Rocks are scenery items that have appeared in every game. There are usually five to ten rocks in a player's town, and the rocks can be a single rock or be in clumps of two. Depending on the season, banging a rock with a shovel or axe may result in a pill bug or centipede appear; this is the only way of finding them. In winter, there is snow on them, but the other seasons do not change anything in the rocks. Rocks cannot be picked up, moved, or changed in any way.

In
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, in addition to money rocks, players are able to destroy "fake" rocks to produce ores. These can be given to Cyrus at Re-Tail to dye items (mainly furniture) different colors.

On Bunny Day, the town will produce ten such "fake" rocks, in addition to the one containing the ore, which can be broken to reveal stone eggs to be taken to Zipper T. Bunny.
