Hello, I would like to know what I am doing wrong, I need to make that when the part is touched it gains +10 money and then the part is destroyed, how do I do that?

local Player = game:GetService("Players")
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local PlayerCharacter = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
	if PlayerCharacter then
		debounce = false
		local Leaderstats = PlayerCharacter:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		Leaderstats.Cash.Value =  Leaderstats.Cash.Value + 10 
		debounce = true
		wait(3)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

You aren’t checking for the debounce at all. You are just changing it. Additionally, the debounce will be useless if it isn’t reverted to true after your wait. Though since you want to Destroy the part anyways after a single hit, a debounce is not necessary. Just disconnect the function once it’s activated.

I need to make the part only touched once and then the part is destroyed

Yeah, just disconnecting it so it doesn’t fire again should work.

local Player = game:GetService("Players")
local connection

connection = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local PlayerCharacter = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
	if PlayerCharacter then
        connection:Disconnect() --Prevents the function from being fired again through script.Parent.Touched
		local Leaderstats = PlayerCharacter:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		Leaderstats.Cash.Value =  Leaderstats.Cash.Value + 10 
		wait(3)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)
