Bills printed before 1990 have essentially no high-tech anticounterfeiting features. Things like watermarks, security strips, and so on weren't introduced until the series that started in that decade. About the best you can do at home would be the following:
> Look for tiny blue and red fibers embedded in the paper. These are tiny bits of very fine thread that were mixed in with the paper because they're difficult for a counterfeiter to reproduce.
> Check the teeth (points) around the Treasury Seal. They should be sharp and evenly spaced.
> Look closely at the engraving of Ben Franklin's face. Again, the lines should be sharp and clear. The image should have a certain amount of apparent depth to it.
