    I mean what I do is /bank deposit, but the sign would be done like so :
    [Trade]
    1 dirt:1
    $(amount/interval you want to keep your money at [ex. 100$ per click when you click the sign]):
    BLANK

    You would lock this sign and only you could use it.

    Once you break the sign you get money.

    You can't exactly use this just by yourself, but it is commonly used to pay debts.

    I would avoid the trouble and /bank deposit, as it is way safer ;)

    This... is dangerous. If you create such a sign, anyone could take 100$ per click from you if they sell dirt blocks to you. Not to mention, a sign with ":" on the second line or no number after the ":" on the third line will not even be accepted by the plugin.

    Correct syntax:
    Code:
    [Trade]
    1 bedrock
    $1:amount
    
    This creates a sign that really stores your money. Unless someone sells a very expensive bedrock block to you, in which case you would lose 1$ and earn a valuable bedrock block in exchange. (Can also be done with netherstars as long as the third line starts with "$1:").

    If you want to store money in the sign, break it and create a new one with the updated amount.

    That is not the case according to my tests from a few months ago.
