If I drop an item on the ground in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, how long will it stick around? I am not talking about displaying an item or a pattern but taking, say, a stack of gold and dropping it some where. Will it eventually despawn or is it there for good?

    Judging based on past Animal Crossing it will persist forever until it is removed by a house/event occupying the same space when it'll be moved to the lost and found (but I haven't seen a lost and found yet)

Based on past animal crossing games and judging from a week's worth of experience, items will persist forever when dropped until picked up, and they will be moved to the "lost and found" (does this exist in AC:NL? I haven't seen one yet) as soon as an event or new house needs to occupy the space the item took. In the original AC I left items all over several acres of land and they were only removed when (oops) an event cleared the acre.

I haven't noticed any dropped items disappearing so far. Note that buried fossils and gyroids are an exception to this rule; naturally placed buried items will be removed the next day.

    The lost and found in New Leaf is in the police station, which you have to build first. The pitfall seeds certainly vanish the next day, as I found out when attempting to trick my brother into one.
