Show currency switcher in custom template file Magento2

Question

I am trying to show currency switcher in custom template file.

I referred some links and found for magento1.

Where they used below code in the template files.

  <?php echo  $this->getLayout()->createBlock('directory/currency')->setTemplate('directory/currency.phtml')->toHtml();?>

Same code i tried in magento2, which is not working.

I have tried this also in my template file.

 <?php echo  $block->getLayout()->createBlock('directory/currency')->setTemplate('directory/currency.phtml')->toHtml();?>

Which is not working.

Can anyone help me is there any other way to achieve this functionality.

Thanks!!

Try this code instead:

echo $this->getLayout()
            ->createBlock("Magento\Directory\Block\Currency")
            ->setTemplate("Magento_Directory::currency.phtml")
            ->toHtml();

This should work anywhere in any phtml
