i should of mentioned i mean gui yes

#6

what style are you going for? FPS, Simulator…

#7 
while wait(0.1) do
     local currency = player.leaderstats.Money.Value
     script.Parent.Text = currency
end

Something like this would work. Add it as a local script inside a textlabel.

#8

Simulator yes something to go with that

#9

the loop is useless in here you can just put an event to check whenever the Value is Changed
here’s how to do it

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local YourCurrency = player.leaderstats.Coins
local YourTextLabel = script.Parent
YourCurrency.Changed:Connect(function(val)
YourTextLabel.Text = val
end)

The suggestions above are basic and okay, however if you want / need abbreviations, you should make a function which abbreivates the number accordingly.

#11

how do you do the abbrevs in them like?

#12

I assume you mean add a money sign.

“$”…val

#13

i think he means like “k” or “M”

ok, I would suggest going with a Gui simular to this
New Project

heres what my script would look like

while wait(1) do
	script.Parent.Text = '$ '..game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value  -- Don't worry about what the text says just change 'Cash - ' to the name of your stat
end

as i mentioned above, using a while loop in this is useless .Changed Event will do the job.
