Well, You at least took the effort to do some research.. You're going to have to make use of Variables, Math, Events, Functions, and Connections.
Usually people use local scripts for tools but if we want to make an actual change to a value in leaderstats then I recommend the use of a server script.
We're going to make a tool that add 1 to a leaderstats value then the tool disappears.
-- Server Script --
-- Variables
local tool = script.Parent -- defining tool
-- Events/Connections
tool.Activated:Connect(function() -- tool "Activated" Event
local character = tool.Parent -- defining character
local players = game:GetService("Players") -- defining players
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) -- defining player
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats -- defining leaderstats
local currency = leaderstats.Money -- defining currency
local addition = 1 -- defining addition
currency.Value = currency.Value + addition -- Adding 1 to Currency
end)
Of course.. This script may error in certain circumstances.. But that's for the better. So you can observe, problem-solve, and understand the errors.

Good stuff but couldn’t exploiters can edit the script and change the currency increment way higher? 123nabilben123 499 — 4y

No. It's a Server Script. Exploiters can't read/edit Server Script. And Exploiter's can't read/edit scripts anymore(at least for now). ryan32t 306 — 4y

Does it have to delete the tool after? THELFCMAN 9 — 4y
