Why does the server not save this transaction?
For context, this is a local script that's placed inside of a button. At first, the transaction goes through successfully, but if the player rejoins, the stats get reverted back to what they were.
local play = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent -- Workspace
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
if play.leaderstats.Coins.Value >= 100 then
play.leaderstats.Coins.Value = play.leaderstats.Coins.Value - 100
play.leaderstats.Tokens.Value = play.leaderstats.Tokens.Value + 1
end
end)

You shouldn't use Clients to make your Economy at all. The client cannot be trusted, and it's not secure. And the reason why it's not saving is because you're using a client, if you're using Datastores, the Datastores only take inputs from the server, they don't take inputs from the Client.
Also, you don't need to define workspace, Roblox already did it for you: workspace
Golden Rule: NEVER trust the Client.
A way to go about this is to send a Remote Event request from the Client > Server, then the Server performs a sanity-check, then processes the Transaction.
Example
Client:
RemoteEvent:FireServer(100, Player2) -- // This wouldn't be so secure, just an example.
Server:
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, amount, plrToTransfer)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrToTransfer) then
if plr.leaderstats.Cash >= amount then
plr.leaderstats.Cash -= amount
plrToTransfer.leaderstats.Cash += amount
end
end
end)
