In the past, the currency code on the Revolut card's chip was GBP. However, who knows how it'll be set up for Americans. (I'm still waiting on a card from them, so assuming that I actually do receive it at some point, that'll be something I check.)
It's also possible they use the BIN or some other mechanism for determining the "native" currency, despite multi-currency cards IIRC officially being a thing in the MC rules.
