By default, the currency selector is displayed in the left sidebar. Here, I will show you how you can show it in right sidebar.

Put the following code in layout/directory.xml

<!--
Product default layout
-->

<catalog_product_view>
	<reference name="right">
		<block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="-" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
	</reference>
</catalog_product_view>

Click Custom Design tab in left sidebar

Write the following code in Layout Update XML box.
