sure here
local currencyName = “£”
local DataStore = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”):GetDataStore(“TestDataStore”)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
folder.Parent = player	

local currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
currency.Name = currencyName
currency.Parent = folder

local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId
local savedData = nil	

pcall(function()
	savedData = DataStore:GetAsync(ID)
end)

if savedData ~= nil then
	currency.Value = savedData
	print("Data loaded")
else
	-- New player
	currency.Value = 1
	print("New player to the game")
end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local ID = currencyName…“-”…player.UserId
DataStore:SetAsync(ID,player.leaderstats[currencyName].Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()

-- When game is ready to shutdown

for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player then
		player:Kick("This game is shutting down")
	end
end

wait(5)

That work for me:
local datastore = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore(“CashSaveSystem”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
	folder.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	cash.Name = "Cash"

	cash.Value = ds1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 250
	ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)

	cash.Changed:connect(function()
		ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
	end)
end)

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerdata = ds:GetDataStore("PlayerData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Money"
	money.Parent = leaderstats

	local dataCache

	local done , err = pcall(function()
		dataCache = playerdata:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-money")
	end)

	if dataCache ~= nil and done then
		money.Value = dataCache
	else
		print(player.Name .. "'s datapool has returned nil, set data table.")
		warn(err)
		playerdata:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "-money", player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
	end

end)


local SaveData = function(player)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		playerdata:UpdateAsync(player.UserId.."-money", function(OldValue)
			return player.leaderstats.Money.Value
		end)
	end)

	if success then
		print("Player's Data has been saved")
	else
		print("There was an error saving player's data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SaveData)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		SaveData(player)
	end
end)

It’s better practice if you use protected call in case Roblox’s servers go down, your entire code won’t just break.

#11

Yes, it will only function through the server.
