In GCN games Bell sacks also represent lower values from 100-900. Sacks are used in all games to represent Bell values ranging from 1,000 to 99,000. Quantities of Bells are most commonly represented by tan-colored sacks, which feature a dark star marking in City Folk and New Leaf. In New Horizons, the player can have a maximum of 40 inventory slots, and can carry a maximum 4,059,999 in their inventory. Although an additional 990,000 Bells can be held in letters, these cannot be accessed for spending. As New Leaf has one slot in the pocket more than the previous games, the total is raised to 1,683,999 Bells.

In Wild World and City Folk, 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 one time. In Animal Crossing, the player could carry up to 849,999 Bells at any one time in their inventory. However, bell denominations under 1,000 cannot be stacked on denominations over 1,000 (for instance, 500 cannot be combined with 2,000). The wallet has a capacity that varies per game, and any further Bells that the player wishes to carry must be carried in item form either in inventory slots or inside letters.īells in their item form can be picked up and stacked as long as the combined value does not exceed 99,000 Bells. Bells as items can then be manually added to the player's wallet, where they no longer occupy inventory slots. To date, the smallest denomination of Bells is 100, which is depicted as a single golden coin.īells can be found in their item form by shaking trees, hitting money rocks, and digging at shining spots. Although most frequently used to purchase items from stores and pay off the player's mortgage, Bells may also be used in several other respects, including trading with villagers and other services. New Horizons Bells ( ベル, Beru ?) are the main currency used in the Animal Crossing series.
