In my (limited) overseas travel experience, money changers are very hesitant to exchange US currency that isn't in good condition. Since Walt was dealing with some overseas distributors, it makes some sense that the money might be in good shape. Way overthinking this, but that's my take.
There's one thing that's been bothering me about this show. It's silly, but why was the money always brand new as if it was fresh off the presses?
Walt's stash of money was laundered. First through the "Save Walt" website that his son set up and Saul set up and later through the car wash. They went into this into detail on several episodes over the course of the series.
But beyond that, Walt wasn't really getting paid from street dealers--he was getting paid first from Gus Fring(who would've had access to all the clean cash bills he needed) and later through other big time distributors(like Lydia and the German corporation).

I don't think that was the actual money from the Czechs. Only some of the meth was even going overseas, A lot of it, I think most, was staying in the US. Even in the last episode Badger and Skinny Pete said the blue meth was still out there in New Mexico. I figure the Czeks were probably just wiring the money and paying for parts that didn't exist or something like that.

Laundered money ends up in bank accounts. It doesn't end up in storage facilities. What was in the storage facility was waiting to be laundered. There was too much money to launder through the car wash. Car washes don't make that many millions of dollars. Skyler put the money in a storage facility because she didn't know what else to do with it.
