Because almost anything can be done on wifi, bells are much easier to get and spend over wifi. Many members give people bells for free. They also give away Royal Crown's, because they sell for 300,000 bells, more than you can hold in a bell bag. Many people also hold yard sales or auctions, where they have used items they no longer want and try to get members to offer more than it could be sold to Nook.

A player with a Bell Rock.

Bells are money used in the Animal Crossing series. They are used primarily to buy things from Nook's and Crazy Redd's as well as from the villagers, Gracie, the Able Sisters, Brewster, and Harriet. In the original Animal Crossing the player could carry up to 849,999 Bells at any one time. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, this is substantially expanded upon as the player can have 99,999 Bells in their wallet and fifteen 99,000 Bell bags in their pockets, bringing the grand total to a maximum of 1,584,999 Bells on hand at any one time. This can be further expanded by putting Bells into letters for an additional 990,000 Bells, but these do not count as on hand as they will not be counted when the player talks to someone who wants to sell something.

Bells are most often seen in tan sacks with a dark brown star in the middle, tied with red rope at the top but are actually coins if viewed as items in quantities of multiples of 100 (as opposed to 1,000 as is normal) in City Folk. In Animal Crossing, all money appeared in a sack.

There are many ways to make Bells: the player can sell items and fruit, do favors for villagers, or even shake trees to get out money. The player can also make a Money Tree by burying Bells with a golden shovel. Money trees will not always grow, but they can be very profitable.
