Detecting Crazy Redd's forged items
Go up to an item and press A. Crazy Redd will tell you how much it costs. If there is a thought bubble over his head, and he says it 'is a very nice item', 'it took ol' Redd a long time to get his hands on that!', 'a lot of wheeling and dealing', 'when it comes to items for Crazy Redd's family, I won't stop 'til I get it!', or 'I'm gonna offer it to you for only [num] Bells!', then the item is fake. Pay attention, because after he says these lines he will only say he had another cousin eyeing it. If an item seems very cheap, such as a few thousand Bells (for example, 2,800), then the item is probably fake.
Notice: This may not work if you do not buy the membership, because Crazy Redd only calls you family if you buy it. The membership is worth the 3,000 Bells.
Buy a painting from Crazy Redd, then immediately check the catalog at Nook's shop. If the painting is listed in it, give it to Blathers to be appraised. If the painting is not listed in the catalog, it is a forgery. Sell it to Tom Nook instead of getting it appraised first, which will lower the selling price.

Easy money
Go to the bank and access your account. Save all the money you have into the account. Save the game and turn off the DS. Change the date to ten years later and your money will go up, depending on how much is in there. It usually goes up 99,999 Bells.
Put any amount of money into your savings account that is over 50,000 Bells. Then, change the system date to the year 2099. Resume the game and you will have a letter in the mail thanking you for keeping money in the account, and that they have added 99,999 Bells to it. Repeat this process as much as desired to get a lot of money, but note that you will receive a lot of weeds.
Notice: This works better if you change the system date to the year 2000, then play the game and save. Then, change the system date to the year 2099.
Change the system date to January 1st to get mail from your Mom with 10,000 Bells.
At 12:30 on any day, walk along the beach shore and look for fruit. Any fruit you find along the shore will be worth 500 Bells. Additionally, keep hitting rocks with an axe or shovel until finding a special one that gives a bag of Bells. Keep hitting the rocks until the bags stop appearing.
Notice: This only happens once per day.
Dig up fossils in your town. Have Blathers check them, then sell them to Tom Nook. Many are worth up to 2,000 Bells.
Use the Golden Shovel to bury money. It may grow into a tree that will grow Bells, depending on how much money was buried.
Take your Golden Shovel and dig in random spots. Eventually you will dig up 100 Bells.
Find a star on the ground and dig it up with your shovel, then sell it to Tom Nook. If it is a fossil, talk to the museum owl. Make sure you do not donate it, even when he asks if he can keep it. Sell it to Tom Nook for a few thousand Bells.
Go to an online friend's town and pick their fruit and plant it in your town to make more money from the fruit when it grows. Additionally, to get more money for fruit, go to your friend's town. Instead of only 100 Bells you will get 500 Bells.
Plant fruit from another town in your town (not your native fruit). Keep planting them until you have an orchard (fifty or more trees). You should have your pockets empty when you go to collect them (to maximize efficiency). After your pockets are full, sell then to Tom Nook for 500 Bells each. You can get 7,500 Bells for each pocketful of fruit.
When Joan the turnip peddler comes to your town (every Sunday morning), ask her if she has Red Turnips. If she sells them to you, plant them right away. Water them every day for a week, and dig them up on Saturday. They will sell at Tom Nook's shop for 16,000 Bells.
Shake trees until a hive of bees appear. Then, take out your net and catch them. Each bee is worth 4,500 Bells.
Get a Fishing Rod and fish at the ocean around night time when it snows or rains. When you see a giant fish shadow, it will be a living fossil fish, worth 15,000 Bells.
Go to the beach every day and look for shells. Do not bother picking up the Sand Dollars, Dall Tops, Venus Combs, or anything else worth less then 500 Bells. Just pick up the shells called 'White Scallop' and 'Pearl Oyster'. They are the rarest kind. Also when you check, you might find a Coconut at the beach shore, or a Otter (sailor), and he might give you some random furniture.
Take out your shovel and hit rocks with it until it spits out Bells. Keep hitting it, as it can go up to 20,000 Bells. If you want to get all the Bells, dig three holes away from the rock, and hit it. This will push you back but you will still hit the rock because the holes are there.
Get a coconuts and bury them. After five to seven days, they will become trees. Shake them, and you will get more of that fruit. Sell them to Tom Nook for 500 Bells.
Get a fruit that is not native to your town. Plant it and go ahead in time. Bury those fruits you find and go ahead in time again. Repeat this as much as desired, then sell all the fruit.
