After obsessing over this I think I found the answer to the foreign currency deposit account in the US question. I’m so excited. Apparently big US banks don’t want to bother with accounts denominated in Foreign currency because it’s a “headache.” But there are a few less well-known banks that do it. I dunno. Someone else read it and explain it to me, but I’m pretty sure this article can answer our question. [http://www.grantspub.com/articles/notthedollar/]
