- The Donation Box can help players double their money in Animal Crossing: New Horizons when it's the daily Hot Item.
- The Donation Box is normally sold for 960 Bells plus any Bells inside it, and players can put up to 99,000 Bells in the box.
- This amount can be doubled when players sell the Donation Box while it's a daily Hot Item, but the process of filling the box can be time-consuming.
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player got a fortunate craftable as their daily Hot Item at Nook's Cranny, allowing them to invest their money in order to double it. There is no doubt that New Horizons stood out in the Animal Crossing series, not only because of its convenient due date, but also thanks to the introduction of mechanics that had not been made available in previous entries, namely the ability to craft hundreds of different items.
There are several ways to obtain crafting recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Gamers can either talk to villagers at certain times of the day, collect the message in a bottle that washes up on shore daily, help NPCs, complete Happy Home Paradise quests, and buy them at Nook's Cranny. After starting a save file, it won't take long before gamers notice that their recipe list has numerous items, some of them more commonly crafted than others.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Breaks Another Sales Record
Thanks to its unwavering sales, Animal Crossing: New Horizons crosses a major milestone and reaches unprecedented numbers for a physical release.
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 as Nook's Cranny daily Hot Item, it grants twice as many Bells as it usually would, and this includes the Bells that were deposited.
How to Get the Donation Box Recipe in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Exchange 800 Nook Miles for it at the Nook Stop in Resident Services
Gamers can put up to 99,000 Bells in the Donation Box, so when they give it to Timmy and Tommy, they would normally get 99,960 Bells from the sale. 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 in Animal Crossing: New Horizons without time traveling.
To make the process of earning money in Animal Crossing less tedious, players can place a couple of Donation Boxes around their islands and put 1,000 Bells in them every now and then. By the time they're lucky enough to get the Donation Box as the daily Hot Item at Nook's Cranny, they'll have plenty of Bells saved up.
