@Verbatim only affects input.  Output is still affected by font's
mapping and Courier is defined to use LtLatin1.LCM that uses
quoteright glyph for '.

To get ascii single quote in the output you need to define a new font
with @FontDef (see Expert's Guide).  Copy LtLatin1.LCM to, say,
LtASCII.LCM and edit it to use quotesingle for character 39 (')
instead of quoteright.  Use that LCM file as the @Mapping of your font
definition, say, CourierASCII, and use CourierASCII intead of Courier
for your examples.
