How can I use local.xml to hide the currency switcher Magento1 RWD?

Question

Our store accepts USD and for other currencies, we use paypal. I need to hide the currency switcher on the RWD theme. I've tried variations of this in local.xml:

<layout>
  <default>
    <remove name="currency-switcher" />
  </default>
</layout>

Answer 1

Use only currency instead of currency-switcher

try this:

<layout>
   <default>
      <remove name="currency" />
   </default>
</layout>
