Why do I keep getting an error message even though my code is correct?

I am working on task #3 of the NSDictionary challenge and keep getting the error message that my set date is not correct. However, I did set the release year to the value of 1969.

NSDictionary *album = @{ @"title": @"Abbey Road", @"artist": @"The Beatles"}; NSMutableDictionary *albumMutable = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:album]; [albumMutable setObject:@1969 forKey:@"year"];

What did I do wrong?

nsdictionary.mm 
NSDictionary *album = @{ @"title": @"Abbey Road", @"artist": @"The Beatles"};
NSMutableDictionary *albumMutable = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:album];
[albumMutable setObject:@1969 forKey:@"year"];

the value 1969 needs to be a string. @"1969"
