Golden series

The Golden Series is a new series of items that is being distributed in Animal Crossing: City Folk in 2011. It was absent from the rest of the Animal Crossing games. If you have WiiConnect 24, every month Nintendo will send a letter to the player through Pete with an item of the series attached. The letter will come on the first day of each month. The series is designed on the archaeology of Latin American culture who carved extravagant markings into their temples and gold statues. The specific race in question is mostly likely the Aztecs, as well as hints of Maya and Inca.

There are 12 items in the series, one for each month in the year. Each piece is worth 1,111 HRA points.

Depending on the locality, some furniture pieces come under different names. This is the case with the Golden Warrior (Also called Golden Man), Golden King (Golden Woman) and Golden Sofa (Golden Bench).

Golden Bed
Have sweet dreams in Animal Crossing with a snazzy new bed! If giving your abode the Midas touch sounds like interior design heaven, pay attention! 2011 is a golden year for Animal Crossing: every month this year you can get your mitts on an exclusive new item of Golden series furniture. January kicks off your glimmering collection with a golden bed - so you can have gilded dreams right from the beginning of the year! The golden bed is a plush bit of kit: with its chunky, embellished headboard and snuggly gilt quilt you'll be catching Z's in the best bed money can't buy!

All you have to do to get your hands on the golden bed is make sure you bump into your friendly postman, Pete, between January 1st and 30th.
