Drop cash on death math.random and billboardgui don't match up with each others values?

Ok so what this does is drops a part named credit that players can pick up and I will provide a picture of the hierarchy (Explorer) and will also provide the script it uses math.random(10,100) to drop the cash but the billboardgui under the part don't show the correct amount that is in the credit part.

01wait(0.1)
02local scr = script.Parent
03local amount = math.random(10,100)
04script.Parent.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = amount
05 
06if scr.Parent.Name == "Backpack" then
07 
08 
09    local player = scr.Parent.Parent
10    while player.Character == nil do  
11    print ("NO CHARACTER")
12    wait(1)
13    end
14    print (player)
15 
16    function onDied()
17 
18    if player.Money.Value >= amount then
19    player.Money.Value = player.Money.Value - amount
20    local j = scr:Clone()
21    j.Position = player.Character.Torso.Position
22    j.Parent = game.Workspace
23    print("Money Dropped")
24    end
25 
26    end
27    player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(onDied)
28 
29 
30else
31    wait(1)
32    local enabled = true
33 
34    function onTouch(part)
35 
36    local p = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(part.Parent)  
37    if p == nil then return end
38 
39    if not enabled then return end
40    enabled = false
41 
42    print("Money")
43    p.Money.Value = p.Money.Value + amount 
44    wait()
45    scr:Remove()
46 
47    end
48    scr.Touched:connect(onTouch)
49 
50end

I put both the if statement and the script.Parent.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = amount into the if statement. I've dealt with this kind of stuff before, and I remember it calling different numbers each function/if statement. Hopefully this works. I don't really have an explanation for why I did what I did, because in my mind, it works out perfectly, but I can't really put it into words.
