Your code should look something like this:

let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]

Happy Coding - Devin

If I remember this challenge correctly, you don't want to remove the value from the dictionary, but just copy it and assign it to a new constant, like this:

let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
