It’s because you can’t get the localplayer in a serverscript, you can only do it in local scripts, and also you have accidently typed :Wa?

If you dont want it a local script just do this

Game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
  local LS = plr:WaitForChild(leaderstats)
    if LS then
       local coins = LS:WaitForChild(coins)
       local rubbies = LS:WaitForChild(rubbies)
       local codes = {infCoins = coins.Value == coins.Value + 10000000 }
    end
end)
