Nook Miles

Nook Miles is a currency type that appears in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It can be earned by catching fish, bugs, selling items, and more. After arriving on the island shortly, Tom Nook will explain that the player must pay 5,000 miles for changing from a tent to a house for its move-in fees (but actually Tom Nook says alternately that it costs 49,800 bells, but it is not possible because the player does not have enough money.) After you pay and complete the 5,000 mile fee, the Nook Miles app upgrades to Nook Miles+ (with more extra goals to get miles faster).

Nook Miles may be subsequently redeemed via the Nook Stop for a variety of items, capabilities, and recipes, including tool ring access, pocket "organization guides" (which increase inventory capacity), pro features in the NookPhone's custom design app, new haircuts, Bell Vouchers (at the rate of 3,000 Bells to 500 Nook Miles, meaning 1 Nook Miles is worth 6 Bells.), Nook Miles Tickets, DIY recipes for fences and furniture, outdoor furniture items, and various Nook Inc. collectibles. The maximum number of Nook Miles the player can have is 9,999,999 Nook Miles; any subsequent Nook Miles earned are not added to the total.
