Editing Shell

[[File:HHD Shells.png|thumb|Shells placed down as furniture in {{HHD|nolink}}]]
'''Shells''' are common items that wash up on the sea shoreline in every [[Animal Crossing (series)|''Animal Crossing'']] game. They provide an easy, yet minimal, source of income, and are often used in the first few days in order to obtain enough [[Bell]]s to buy tools. A limited number of shells appear at a time, usually 15. 

If they are picked up, they will slowly start to reappear in a new location. Dropped shells do not affect the player's [[environment rating]]. Entering buildings and saving the game will likely cause new shells to show up. [[Coconut]]s that wash up on the beach in {{WW}} and {{CF}} do not count towards the 15 shell limit.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
In {{NL}}, there are three shells — oyster shell, pearl-oyster shell, and scallop shell — that have [[sea creature|sea-creature]] counterparts which are obtained from [[swimming|diving]] — [[oyster]], [[pearl oyster]], and [[scallop]]. Additionally, the player can take a giant-clam shell to [[Cyrus]] at [[Re-Tail]] along a [[K.K. Slider song]] in order to create a [[music box]].
