Fontstring written over old value

Ok, got a funny one this time.
When displaying a fontstring the new value is written over the previous one (see the amount field in the picture).
No idea why this is happening.
Allready searched the forums here but didn't find an answer.
Maybe someone can point me in the right derection?

You probably create a new FontString every time you update the values, instead of just update it's text.

Question like that you should at least post the part of the code producing it otherwise its a wild guess, but in this case I am quite sure Resike answer is correct.

You are both right.
Creating a new font string each time, stupid of me.

Also found the answer myself while out eating pancakes.
And then they say men can't multitask
