In Animal Crossing what does the golden shovel do

the golden shovel is the only shovel you can use to get a money tree. to get a money tree you have to take 99,000 bells and plant it in a hole. then water it. don't time travel but wait until the next day and it should be growing. a money tree will triple 99,000 bells.
also another cool cheat is magic rock money. go to a rock and use a golden shovel to hit it and one rock in your whole town will give you up to 8500 bells a day.
hope this helps!

accualy you don't need to plant 99,000 bells in the hole, you can put a hundred or a thousand bells in the hole and it will still plant a money tree.
