Any of these make it easy to get 16,100 bells. Better yet, plant Bushes in those same locations for a more permanent solution. You can also dig two holes in a corner, hitting the rock in a diagonal way as shown in the picture below. You'll have to hit the rock with several successive hits to make the most money come out, and every time you hit the rock, the force of your shovel will knock you backwards a little bit, meaning you'll lose a little bit of time moving closer to the rock to hit it again and lessening your chances at a maximum payoff.ĭig three (or more) holes behind you, acting like a wall and you won't get knocked back as much, and you leave as much room as possible for money to fall.
Here's the scoop: once a day, a random rock in your town will become a money rock, and if you hit it with a Shovel, bells will pop out - up to 16,100 a day in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, depending on how many whacks with the shovel you give it.
Money Rocks have been a staple of Animal Crossing since the beginning, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing about them.
