Getting dropdownlist text from jQuery

I am very new with jQuery what I want to ask is getting dropdown list text from jQuery. My dropdownlist is like that:

<select name="Branch[currency_id]" id="Branch_currency_id">
<option value="">Select Currency</option>
<option value="cu-001">Singapore Dollar</option>
<option value="cu-002">US Dollar</option>
</select>

with jQuery I can get dropdownlist value like that:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#Branch_currency_id').val();
}

It can only get the value of dropdownlist like cu-001, cu-002 but I don't wanna get like that what I want to get is Singapore Dollar, US Dollar by using jQuery. Can I get like that if so how can I get? Anyone please help me! Thanks! :)
