The entity cannot be constructed in a LINQ to Entities query

Issue:

I had a problem casting an anonymous type to a type of a ModelView class that I had defined.
The query worked but failed on my conversion to the type PayScheduleCurrencyModelView.

Incorrect:

 var currencyDetail = (from hn in db.Host_Nation
                                      join cur in db.Currencies on hn.Currency_ID equals cur.Currency_ID
                                      where hn.Host_Nation_ID.Equals(country)
                                      select new PayScheduleCurrencyModelView
                                      {
                                          Country_ID = hn.Host_Nation_ID,
                                          Country = hn.Host_Nation_Name,
                                          Currency_Code = cur.Code,
                                          Currency_Description = cur.Description,
                                          Exchange_Rate = cur.Rate
                                      }).AsEnumerable().Select(x => new PayScheduleCurrencyModelView
                                      {
                                          Country_ID = x.Country_ID,
                                          Country = x.Country,
                                          Currency_Code = x.Currency_Code,
                                          Currency_Description = x.Currency_Description,
                                          Exchange_Rate = x.Exchange_Rate
                                      }).FirstOrDefault();


Correct:


 var currencyDetail = (from hn in db.Host_Nation
                                      join cur in db.Currencies on hn.Currency_ID equals cur.Currency_ID
                                      where hn.Host_Nation_ID.Equals(country)
                                      select new 
                                      {
                                          Country_ID = hn.Host_Nation_ID,
                                          Country = hn.Host_Nation_Name,
                                          Currency_Code = cur.Code,
                                          Currency_Description = cur.Description,
                                          Exchange_Rate = cur.Rate
                                      }).AsEnumerable().Select(x => new PayScheduleCurrencyModelView
                                      {
                                          Country_ID = x.Country_ID,
                                          Country = x.Country,
                                          Currency_Code = x.Currency_Code,
                                          Currency_Description = x.Currency_Description,
                                          Exchange_Rate = x.Exchange_Rate
                                      }).FirstOrDefault();


The fix was to drop the implied cast in the linq to sql query.  This cast was causing the EF error.
