Animal Crossing: New Horizons features not one but two distinct forms of in-game currency, both of which can be acquired by taking part in a variety of in-game pursuits. Because you need Bells to purchase items and upgrade your house in Animal Crossing, you can think of Bells as the game's version of real money. You can use the secondary currency known as Nook Miles to make purchases such as furniture and clothing, as well as to pay for transportation to remote islands. There are two different currencies in Animal Crossing, so there are a lot of different ways to make money in the game.

In Animal Crossing, the currency that you will most likely want to focus on acquiring is Bells. This is because Bells can be exchanged for real-world cash. It is necessary to have this currency in order to upgrade your house in Tom Nook, and villagers use it to buy lots, construct structures such as bridges and ramps, and purchase items such as furniture, tools, and seeds.

In Animal Crossing, the best ways to earn Bells are outlined here for your convenience.

You can Make Money by Capturing Fish and Bugs.

- Catching and selling fish and bugs is one of the most effective ways for new players to start accumulating Bells

- Players fish using the pole and net tools, respectively, and capture bugs using the net

- Be sure to bring in fresh fish and bugs for the museum, but if you have duplicates of species that you've already contributed, you can sell those for a respectable sum of Bells

- If you sell a tarantula, for example, you'll get 8,000 Bells

Produce and Collect Fruit for the Purpose of Sale

The cultivation and sale of fruit constitutes the second most important source of revenue in the early game. Your island features native fruit trees in its landscape. You will receive a second type of fruit in the mail early on; after planting it, another tree will begin to grow. Dig a hole and plant ACNH Cliff Designs.

Duplicate fossils should be unearthed and put up for sale.

After Blathers has brought his museum to the island, you will be given your first shovel. At this time, you will also begin to see cracks in the ground in the shape of stars on a daily basis. If you dig around in those areas, you'll be able to find fossils. These fossils will be identified for you by Blathers, and then you will be able to donate them to the museum. If you find a fossil that has already been unearthed, you can bring it to Nook's Cranny and sell it there for a nice profit in Bells.

Produce and Trade the Most Popular Item

Once you have constructed Nook's Cranny, you will discover that there are brand new "hot items" added each day. Construct the trendy item, and you'll be able to sell it for twice the price it would normally fetch. You can make Bells very quickly if you are fortunate enough to have a popular item that is not difficult to craft.

Avoid Using the Drop Box at All Costs

During the late hours of the night, when the general store is closed, ACNH Cliff Designs makes available to you a handy dropbox that you can use to sell any items you have. If you want to make the most money possible with your Bell, you should avoid using it while the store is open because the payouts are lower. In the event that your stock runs out during the night, you can leave items on the floor outside of the store or in any other location that is convenient for you to sell during the day.

Offer Your Goods to Flick and C. J.

Instead of immediately selling your bugs and fish, consider putting them in storage for later use if you are patient enough.

There will be guests on your island such as a man named C. J who is obsessed with fishing and a woman named Flick who is fascinated by insects. Both C. J. and Flick will pay you a premium of 1.5 times the normal amount of Bells for your fish and bugs, respectively. Flick will pay you 1.5 times the normal amount of Bells for your bugs.

Locate the Money Rock, Please.

On a daily basis, a different rock on your island will be selected to serve as the "money rock."When you hit this rock with your shovel, Bells will emerge from its hiding place. You can avoid the knockback that normally occurs when striking a rock if you position yourself so that you are standing at one of the rock's corners and dig holes behind and above you. Because of this, you are able to acquire the greatest number of Bells from your money rock on a daily basis.

Deposit Your Bells

When you have more than 99,999 Bells, additional Bells will appear in your inventory as money bags. This occurs when you have a total of more than 99,999 Bells. You can put these things down on the floor anywhere in your home if you want to, but putting them in the machine at the Nook Stop is a significantly better idea. You are free to access your savings at any time, but the only time you will earn interest on the Bells you save is when they are deposited into your account. You will receive interest payments on a regular basis in your mailbox, and the amount of interest you earn will increase as you deposit additional Bells.

Plant some Dollar Bills!

You will, at some point during each day, discover a glowing spot on the ground somewhere on your island. There is a small bag of Bells buried there, and you can find it if you dig there. After that, you can bury a sack of Bells in that same hole, and a money tree will begin to grow there. When it reaches maturity, you will be able to collect bells in an amount equal to three times what you initially planted.

Take a Shot at the Turnip Market

After you have finished successfully building Nook's Cranny, access to the turnip market will be granted. A pig by the name of Daisy Mae will come to visit your island on Sundays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM. You will have the chance to purchase turnips if you engage in conversation with her. You will then have the opportunity to earn a significant amount of Bells by selling the turnips at Nook's Cranny from Monday through Saturday.

Travel To Desert Islands

Nook Miles can be used to purchase vouchers that can be redeemed for flights to remote islands. You can meet new villagers this way, which is a great way if you have room on your island, but you can also dig up a lot of resources to sell back at your own village. You can either sell the trees for quick Bells or plant them at home to have instantly mature fruit trees. After eating fruit and digging up trees, you can choose either option. Sometimes you'll even find an island with fruit trees that aren't native to the area, or an island that's full of rocks worth money.

Buy Bell Vouchers

If you have accumulated a significant number of Nook Miles and are unsure what to do with them, you can exchange them for Bell vouchers. Simply use the machine at the Nook Stop, and you will be able to purchase an unlimited number of vouchers. Each voucher will set you back 500 Nook miles, and you'll get 3,000 Bells for each one when you sell it at Nook's Cranny.
