Leftover dummy item

The dummy model used by unused items in Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing, the work ahead signboard is still leftover in the game data as a dummy item, unobtainable without gameplay modification or glitches. It has the unused name "men working sign" and uses the dummy model, a white triangle with red Japanese text reading ダミー (damī, dummy). Its name was also translated to other languages in the European version of Animal Crossing, with the name "señal obras" in Spanish, "panneau chantier" in French, "Baustellenschild" in German, and "lavori in corso" in Italian.

The item remains unused in Doubutsu no Mori e+, where, as with all dummy items in that game, its name appears as "かぐ？" (kagu?, furniture?) in the player's inventory. However, when dropped on the ground outside, its name from Doubutsu no Mori+ is shown. The item appears as the same dummy model but cannot be placed down in the player's house if in their inventory.
