My guess is that there'd be a lot of cash pretty much just laying about waiting for somebody to pick up. Sure it might be in shop cash registers, bank vaults, wallets & purses of the dead, but my guess is that if prewar currency was made legal there'd be a big problem with looters for the local authorities to deal with (as if they don't already though).

On the other hand, who's to say cash lost it's status as legal tender? Became near worthless, yes, but lost it's legal status? It's also only been what, 2-3 years since the nukes, so there'd still probably be a lot of emotional attachment to it too.
