This would be work, because Roblox checks for a folder inside the player named “leaderstats”. Capitalization is important for this.

ooohhh thanks alot! that would make more sense

#5 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	cash.Value = 0
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
end)

It’s generally considered a bad practice to use the optional “Parent” parameter of the function “Instance.new()”, you can read more about this here:

The folder has been named “leaderstats” unless the post was edited.
