Wanted to give everyone a lesson in Green Bucks 101. ;D
As you all know, the coveted "green buck" bank notes are used for upgrades, to speed up building, to buy premium skins, to buy out-of-area businesses and to buy special items such as premium housing and many of the game's "wonder" buildings.
Two questions to answer here:
1) Why do some players have a ridiculous amount of green bucks?
The reason why some people have so many green bucks comes from 2 things:
a) jailbroken i-phones, involving a process where you lift Apple's filters to get maximum use of your device, and are then able to hack the source code of the game to manipulate your buck count to whatever you want it to be - this was patched by Booyah;
b) people franchising from you in bucks, buck franchises are capped at a max of 50 bucks.
2) How do the rest of us go about earning them?
There are several ways:
1. Daily Reward on log in - This resets every day at midnight.
2. Leveling Up (1 buck with each new level )
3. Random Errands for Townspeople (Clicking on townspeople who are trying to find places. Most of the time you get just coins and experience, but you also get 1 buck generated randomly.)
4. Others Franchising From You in Bucks (You get a percentage of the purchase price of a business franchised from you. Capped at a maximum of 50 bucks.)
5. Booyah "More Bucks" (3 bucks for sharing the game via Twitter, Facebook, E-mail or text, but can only be done once on each - find this underMenu, Booyah tab, click on More Bucks.)
6. Gifting Bucks (When you have a Lvl 10 property people can click on it and choose to give you 1 buck.)
7. Buying Them With Real Money (Very expensive - $10 USD gives you 100 green bucks; $50 USD gives you 600 green bucks. Sometimes Booyah runs promotions where you can pay less money to get more green bucks, but these are very rare.)
8. Spin the Wheel - there are 3 free spins everyday and bucks can be won.
9. Play the forum games! See the community events thread for chances to win franchises.
