Can I hold non-dollar currencies in my retirement fund?

Yes. You would need to find a financial institution that can facilitate these currencies in a retirement account. Many are unable to do so, as their systems are not programmed to perform the currency conversion necessary to satisfy IRS tax reporting requirements, which must be done in U.S. dollars.
