init task 1 of 1 help

Can anyone tell why my code is not working? I have checked other peoples questions and answers and mine seems to match up.

enum.swift 
enum Coin: Int {
    case Penny = 1, Nickel = 5, Dime = 10, Quarter = 25 

init() {
 self = .Quarter 
 }
    func isGreater(currentValue: Coin, newValue: Coin) -> Bool {
        return currentValue.rawValue > newValue.rawValue
    }

I believe you forget a curly bracket at the end...

enum Coin: Int {
    case Penny = 1, Nickel = 5, Dime = 10, Quarter = 25 
init(){
self = .Quarter
}

    func isGreater(currentValue: Coin, newValue: Coin) -> Bool {
        return currentValue.rawValue > newValue.rawValue
    }
}
