let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]

1,659 PointsThe answer it is looking for is...
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
But I think the question can also be answered (based on the video) like this...
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies.removeValueForKey("UK")
If you use this one, the Teamtreehouse compiler will throw an error. It will not throw an error in xCode however.
Hope this helps!

You may capture a value in the dictionary, but you cannot remove or change the key-value pairs as long as the dictionary is declared as a constant. Besides, the challenge clearly asks you to CAPTURE one of the dictionary's values and assign it do a new constant, not MUTATE the original dictionary.
