Script type: Script
Where it goes: ServerScriptService
Category: Player data and money

For your own game in Roblox Studio. Not for use in other people's games.

The code

-- Leaderstats: creates the player list board with a Coins value.

local STARTING_COINS = 0

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	-- The folder MUST be called "leaderstats" for Roblox to show it.
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "Coins"
	coins.Value = STARTING_COINS
	coins.Parent = leaderstats
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

-- Also handle players who joined before this script finished loading.
for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	task.spawn(onPlayerAdded, player)
end

How to set it up

Open ServerScriptService in the Explorer.
Add a Script and paste the code.
Play. A box with your name and Coins appears at the top right.
To see it change while testing, select Coins in the Explorer (under Players > your name > leaderstats) and edit the value.

Change it

To add more stats, copy the IntValue block and change the name, for example Gems.
Use a StringValue for text and a NumberValue for decimals.
Only change leaderstats from a Script. A LocalScript change only shows on that one screen and does nothing for the real game.
Pair this with the Save data script so coins are kept between visits.
