How to Get a Few Million Bells in a Few Minutes on Animal Crossing: Wild World

In "Animal Crossing: Wild World," players maintain towns, gather and sell items and interact with animal neighbors in a virtual community. Bells are the currency of the "Animal Crossing" series; players can earn them by selling items and completing tasks for neighbors or for Tom Nook, the town's general store owner. Because time in the game world is synced to the Nintendo DS system's clock, players can exploit the bank's interest system to earn millions of bells in only a few minutes.

Instructions

- 1
  Deposit all your bells into your bank account by speaking to Pelly or Phyllis at the Town Hall, selecting "Access Account" from the menu, selecting "Save Bells" and entering the amount you want to deposit. For the best results, aim for a balance of about 50,000 bells. To earn bells quickly, gather fruit, catch rare fish and insects and sell unused items to Tom Nook at his store.

  Launch "Animal Crossing: Wild World." When you open your mailbox, you will receive the interest accrued on the balance in your bank account. Depending upon the amount originally deposited, the interest can range from several hundred thousand to over a million bells.
