Show Currencies with their symbol instead of currency switcher in header

Sometimes clients requirement are different and hence we would need to break our heads to fix their requirement ;)

We all know that there's a default currency drop down selector (also called as Currency Switcher) available in magento (displayed in the top right of our header).

I would like to replace that with currency symbols like i.e, $ £ € 

So I change the code in your themes "directory/currency.phtml", Replace this code in place of dropdown code:

         <ul>
        <?php foreach ($this->getCurrencies() as $_code => $_name): ?>
        <li>
          <a onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getSwitchCurrencyUrl($_code) ?>')"><?php echo Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency($_code)->getSymbol()?> - <?php echo $_code ?></a>
         </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>

Hope this Helps .. Cheers !!
