     Destroy( gameObject );

You’d only use

MoneyScript.CurrentMoney

if CurrentMoney is a static variable. If it’s a public, non-static, you should be using

GetComponent to access it. If the script you are using to call your moneyscript is attached to the same gameObject as moneyscript, you’d do something like:

var mScript : Component = GetComponent(MoneyScript);
var curMon : float= mScript.CurrentMoney;

OR

var curMon : float = GetComponent(MoneyScript).CurrentMoney;

My JS skills are kinda rusty, so have a look at the link I’ve provided to the Unity Script Reference for GetComponent.

If the script you are using to call MoneyScript is attached to another gameObject, you’d define that gameObject, easy way would be to use a public var to assign go in inspector.

var go : GameObject;
var mScript : Object = go.GetComponent(MoneyScript);
var curMoney : float = mScript.CurrentMoney;
