Currency extension?
Do you know those mall simulators? People need currency. So what if we could make a currency or credit extension? This would allow you to enter a code, which is saved to your account, allowing you to pay for everything! Now we don't need to use ☁︎ cloud variables. We can use the extension! So yeah, this is just an idea, you don't have to add it.

I think this is a suggestion, but at the same time it's an extension, so I'm not sure where this would go.
Also, if you're talking about real money, then this wouldn't be a good extension in my opinion. Scratch is a free website for kids, and most of us can't pay for stuff on our own.

Good point… I think this is a suggestion, but at the same time it's an extension, so I'm not sure where this would go.
Also, if you're talking about real money, then this wouldn't be a good extension in my opinion. Scratch is a free website for kids, and most of us can't pay for stuff on our own.I'm not talking about real money. Think Minecoins.
I hope this helped!

Well, how would you get these coins, and what would happen if you didn't have enough? Would you not be able to access a project? I'm not talking about real money. Think Minecoins.
I hope this helped!

While you could develop your own system that only works within 1 project using variables, using real money is not allowed and Scratch won’t add a Scratch-wide currency or anything that uses real money (see sections 1.4 and 8.7 of https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/343602/ ).

To scroll through a signature, highlight some text in the signature, then use:
((shift) + (up/down arrow))
To add a signature, go to the bottom of Discussion Home and click “Change your signature.”
I had a bigger signature, but it was eaten by an Evil Kumquat.

The block would be like a variable. Let's say you won a game. The block would add the amount of coins specified.Well, how would you get these coins? I'm not talking about real money. Think Minecoins.
I hope this helped!
Add (1) coin to account

I would like this but if people make projects that just give you infinite coins.
Or the opposite

Oh wait…I think this was suggested and rejected.
8.7 Digital currency or Scratch achievements
Some form of digital currency which allows you to “buy” Scratch features (with real or fake money) would not really benefit the educational value of Scratch; after all, there is not really anything that you can buy. While there could be features that are only unlockable via digital currency, this does not really contribute to Scratch's purpose of being a programming language available for everyone. However, you can make digital currency in your own projects, if you like. A very good detailed analysis for why digital currency should not be on Scratch can be found on this post.
Some other users have suggested Scratch achievements such as “Created 50 projects” with the idea that this would give users motivation to keep using Scratch. However, this sort of idea does not really fit in with the purpose of Scratch. Some users may use their achievements to determine that they are “better” than other users. However, you are allowed to make achievements in your own games, if you like.

I think that some blocks in it would be:
Give () [dollars v] to user []::extensionThat's all I can think of now
Take () [dollars v] to user []::extension
() [dollars v] of user []::extension reporter

The CloudLink extension by MikeDev already does this.

If this was added people would use it for local storage so it would actually be really good! Also it is not rejected, the rejection was for a scratch-wide currency, not an in-game one
