Try changing currencies from let to var.

If you really want to remove the UK entry from currencies (which removeValueForKey does), currencies needs to be a variable, not an immutable constant. Declare it with var rather than let.

Alternately, instead of using removeValueForKey, maybe you just want to 

let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
```, which leaves currencies unmodified.
