This is completely wrong information you have got!
Rama never threw axe at Ganesha's trunk.
You don't throw money only your axe. hold your axe and press A.
You press the throw button
Once you donate enough bells to your town, you will be granted with a fountain in your town. Then, you can throw an axe into this fountain.
to get the silver axe, you have to throw a normal axe into your town fountain! this will result in you getting a silver axe back!
You should just be able to walk up to the fountain and press "A," which will allow your character to throw the axe in. Once you do so, you will be asked a series of questions that can result in you getting your axe back, nothing back, or a golden axe.
It is simple. You pick it up and throw it down.
You buy it from nook, to get a silver axe you need to donate 500,000 to the town hall to get a fountain, then throw a normal axe in the fountain and it might be silver.
the only way ive heard of is if you throw a normal axe into your town fountain, this will give you a golden axe in return!
donate enough bells to town hall to get fountain in town then throw a axe in the fountain you can get a silver or gold axe to come out (randomly decided)
you just hold your axe holding it in front of the fountain and press the 'A' Button.
You can only throw a regular axe into the fountain. Only when your gates are closed you can do it and you have to be in front of the fountain to press C. Then a character named Serena appears above the fountain and if you want to get along then you need to answer the questions the right way. The choice is up to you. you cant throw your axe in the city fountain
Press A while in front of the fountain, or swing the wiimote to send your regular axe flying into the fountain.As a note, you are only able to throw regular axes into the fountain and only once per day.
