Touch-to-Collect Coin Pickups
Drop coins anywhere in your game by tagging them. Touching a coin awards the player, plays a pickup sound on the client, and respawns the coin after a cooldown. Server-validated, no exploit risk.
“Make a coin pickup system. I want to be able to drop coins anywhere in the world by tagging a part. When a player touches one, they get a coin and the part disappears for 30 seconds, then respawns.”
Paste this — or any variation — into StudByStud and you’ll get the code below in seconds.
How it works
- You tag any Part in Studio with the 'Coin' tag using the Tag Editor (or via the AddTag API). No script editing needed to add new coin spawns.
- On the server, CoinPickupService listens for any tagged part — even ones added at runtime — and wires up its Touched event.
- When a humanoid touches a coin, the server resolves the player, awards them via the leaderstats Coins value, then disables the coin for the cooldown period.
- A RemoteEvent fires the pickup back to the player so the client can play a satisfying sound and a small particle burst — these run client-side so they feel instant.
- After the cooldown, the coin re-enables itself. No coin is ever destroyed, so map designers can place them once and forget about them.

end

CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal(COIN_TAG):Connect(setupCoin)
Listens for the 'Coin' tag and rewards the toucher. All coin awarding happens server-side so it can't be spoofed.

end)
Plays the pickup sound and a tiny particle burst on the local player's screen. Pure visual flourish — no game logic.
