I want to select the elements of a list like:



    list ={{"AED", 0.27224}, {"AUD", 0.7029}, {"BRL", 0.25138}, {"CAD", 
      0.7568}, {"CHF", 1.0311}, {"CLP", 0.00144}, {"CNH", 
      0.15714}, {"CNY", 0.15733}, {"COP", 0.03304}, {"CZK", 
      0.04148}, {"DKK", 0.1511}, {"EGP", 0.12771}, {"EUR", 
      1.1272}, {"GBP", 1.52}, {"HKD", 0.12902}, {"HUF", 0.3612}, {"IDR", 
      0.06828}, {"ILS", 0.25478}, {"INR", 1.5297}, {"JPY", 
      0.8388}, {"KRW", 0.84796}, {"MAD", 0.10305}, {"MXN", 
      0.05943}, {"MYR", 0.22635}, {"NOK", 0.11999}, {"NZD", 
      0.6429}, {"PEN", 0.3097}, {"PHP", 0.02143}, {"PLN", 0.2651}, {"SEK",
       0.1202}, {"SGD", 0.6982}, {"THB", 0.02736}, {"TRY", 
      0.3339}, {"TWD", 0.03044}, {"USD", 1}, {"ZAR", 0.0726}}


using `Select[list,#[[1]]=={"AED"|"CNH"|"MAD"|...}]`



but I can't get the list of alternatives to work.  Nothing is selected.



Actually, the first list is a list of lists, and there are more alternatives then I shown above.
