At night I always charge my 3DS, so I leave my 3DS is sleep mode, and just keep shaking it, after like 5 minutes, I gor 10 play coins! I keep on doing this so I could get the lucky number ticket or whatever its called, sometimes I also use them for the Mii Plaza stuff.

I have an idea to get more play coins. If maybe you don't want to leave your spot and you have wii fit plus, you could go on the free run game, put your 3ds in your pocket or backpack, and simply run in place while the game is playing. If you get the max amount of coins, you could change the date and continue running.

Just a note for if you shake it without walking around and doing that kinda thing, I used to do that trick a lot and after a while the plate under the touchscreen came loose and it couldn't be fixed meaning I had to buy a new 3ds..

I'm not 100% sure if it was just a fault with that 3ds or if it was due to me shaking it, but still be careful.

Reason why we do the shaking with the case on and holding it firmly so the lid doesn't open any and slam on the main 3DS body, so the hinges don't come of or anything for that matter! Also, reason why 2DS is better for this, since it has much more durability when it comes to breaking or anything in general!:D

One really strange but effective method I found is that if you have one of those big old analog clocks that have that pendulum thing at the bottom, you can just tie your 3DS on there and leave it overnight and by morning you will have over 8000 steps!:p

Well, the OP never restricted answers to legit ways :p

Yes, but for those who do and stumble upon this topic, here's the quickest way :p
Actually, yeah, it's kind of cheating. But on the other hand, it allows you to save your battery life, instead of walking around with your 3DS turned on to get those 300 coins while you're just spending a normal day outside.

Put Your 3ds in a bag. Walk around the house crazily. When the coin limit is reached, change the date. Repeat and profit

Or you can go even lazier and just give your 3DS to someone else who's going on a walk. :p Then again all answers in this thread are roughly the same.
