I have a problem with this task, I'm trying to solve it with the video info, but there's used a var, and a here, the task requires a let, so I don't really know how to solve it.
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK":"Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies.removeValueForKey("UK")

You're on the right track, and are using the correct assignment let in this case. Just so you know, what's done in the videos in usually not what needs to be done in the challenges. They will change it up, so they know you are learning and not just copying. :) Remember, a variable (var) can be altered later on - a constant (let) cannot.
The error the code above is experiencing for the challenge is that you are calling a method on the constant. The challenge wants you to assign the value from the key "UK" to the constant ukCurrency. You don't need to use a method to do this, you just need to assign using bracket notation.
Below is the corrected code. Have a look, and I hope it will make sense.
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
Keep Coding! :)
