Because Congress passed a law forbidding redesign of the $1 bill, it doesn't incorporate any of the newer security features found in $5 and higher bills. You can still look for the following:

  • Hold the bill up to a light and look for tiny blue and red fibers embedded in the paper.
  • The paper will have a substantial feel to it, the same as other modern bills.
  • The denticles (teeth) on the Federal Reserve Seal will be sharp and uniform.
  • The engraving of Washington's face will be sharply-defined and appear almost 3D if viewed from a slight distance.

That said, $1 bills aren't often counterfeited because of their low value.

How can you tell if a 10000 dollar bill is real or fake?

The US did print 10,000 dollar bills. Since these are of a higher denomination and more scarce than 1,2,5,10 and 20 dollar bills there is a higher chance that it is a counterfeit bill. However just because there is a higher chance does not mean that it is fake. The best way to find out if it is fake is to take it to trusted and experienced collector. He or she will probably be able to tell you.
