Replace this :

<?php if(count($this->getStores())>1): ?>
<div class="form-language">
    <ul id="select-language" title="<?php echo $this->__('Currency') ?>" class="dropDownMenu">
        <li><a href=""><?php echo $this->__('Currency') ?></a>
        <ul>
            <?php foreach ($this->getStores() as $_lang): ?>
                <?php $_selected = ($_lang->getId() == $this->getCurrentStoreId()) ? ' class="selected"' : '' ?>
                <li <?php echo $_selected ?>>
                <a href="<?php echo $_lang->getCurrentUrl() ?>"><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_lang->getName()) ?></a>
                </li>
            <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>

</div>
<?php endif; ?>

WITH :

<?php if(count($this->getStores())>1): ?>
<?php
$lis = "";
$selCurrency = $this->__('Currency');
foreach ($this->getStores() as $_lang):
    if($_lang->getId() == $this->getCurrentStoreId()){
        //This line will show SYMBOL only
        //$selCurrency = "[".Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency(Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode())->getSymbol()."]";

        //This line will show FULLNAME
        $selCurrency = $this->escapeHtml($_lang->getName());
    }
    $lis .= '<li><a href="'.$_lang->getCurrentUrl().'">'.$this->escapeHtml($_lang->getName()).'</a></li>';
endforeach;
?>
<div class="form-language">
    <ul id="select-language" title="<?php echo $this->__('Currency') ?>" class="dropDownMenu">
        <li><a href=""><?php echo $selCurrency ?></a>
        <ul>
            <?php echo $lis ?>
        </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
