m (Undo revision 1132608 by Acnh Player (talk) I don't really think having one game formatted in its full title with the rest being initialized (or whatever the correct word is) looks good. Also, I feel most readers on the Wiki will more than likely figure out what "AC" stands for, anyway.)

Shells placed down as furniture in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Shells are common items that wash up on the sea shoreline in every 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 Bells 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. Coconuts that wash up on the beach in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk do not count towards the 15 shell limit.
