you can open swiss bank accounts online and have them hold your account in a specified currency, I think its a choice of US Dollars, Swiss Francs and Pounds Sterling. One has to be well informed about who they go with though, as some of them being "offshore" have a reputation for being bedroom operations, but there are some decent ones and it is perfectly legal - as far as I'm aware.
edit---
Also, if you're going for privacy with a swiss account, you cant get it in USA, because they now have a deal going with the US where they legally have declare certain things that are asked of them by the US government, but in the UK privacy is still tight. Though.. I'm not sure for what legal reasons you'd need it, and I'm not sure exactly why I know this information, I think I just got distracted and started researching swiss bank accounts.
