I am trying to add a new custom field of type Currency to the Contact object. When I click Challenge, I am facing with following issue:

Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong:

The field 'Loan_Amount__c' either does not exists on the Contact object or it is not of type currency.

    I had this problem this morning.  After trying several things I deleted the Loan Amount field I created and added it again.  I rechecked the challenge and this time it worked without an error.  I have no idea why it failed the 1st time and worked the 2nd time.  It was frustrating to have a basic challenge like adding a custom field fail without explanation.  Is there an issue with the challenge testing code?

    I encountered the same issue. I edited the field and clicked the button to Set Field Level Security. I selected all and problem solved.

    I have launched another sandbox environment and created a custom field. It was successful.

    I also had this problem and it won't go easily but what I tried the, got submitted, you can also try that

    1. create and launch  a  new playground 

    2. Directly go to setup and then Object Manager

    3. Search for a contact, select the "Contact" only 

    4. Go to  Fields and Relationships on the left-hand sidebar -> New

    5. Select Currency-> Laon Amount ->Next-> Next->Save

    6. Submit the task.

    You may need to delete the Contact Object that you created and search for the existing Contact Object and add the Current data type as a Loan Amount.
