You need to add following code into your default.xml file.

<referenceBlock name="custom_header">
     <block class="Magento\Directory\Block\Currency" name="currency" before="-" template="currency.phtml"/>
</referenceBlock>

And add below code into your customheader.phtml

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('currency'); ?>
