My currency key on the home keyboard does not match my language/layout selection.

The currency key responds directly to the language/locale that the phone is set to, regardless of the language model/layout in use in SwiftKey. So if your phone language is set to English UK, you’ll get a £; if it’s English US, you should get a $ (and Yen with Japanese, Euro with French/Spanish/German and so on).

To change this:

1. Go into your phone's device settings
2. Tap 'Language & Input'/'Locale'
3. Ensure that your chosen language is correct for your locale/the currency you wish to display 
4. When you next use SwiftKey, your currency key should have changed

Note: This setting may vary depending on a device.
