The Donation Box is a fun item that players can use to decorate their islands or set it up by certain attractions for visitors who feel like lending a helping hand and giving away a few Bells. Reddit user Afraid_Tiger_4798 has found an unusual way to use this item, and it might just help out some gamers who want to get their hands on some extra cash. The Donation Box is normally sold for 960 Bells at Nook’s Cranny. However, if players put money inside it, Timmy and Tommy will always add that value to their offer. When an item is listed asNook’s Cranny daily Hot Item, it grants twice as many Bells as it usually would, and this includes the Bells that were deposited.

However, if it’s the Hot Item, they will purchase it for twice as much – more precisely, 199,920 Bells. Unfortunately, it’s only possible to deposit 1,000 Bells in a Donation Box at a time, so this may take a while. Nevertheless, it’s a way to double players’money inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonswithout time traveling.
