There are several ways, hold up the bill to a light source so that you may see through it. On the right hand side there should be a faint picture of Benjamin Franklin, on the left there should be a strip going down with the words one hundred. It should also have little pieces of red or another color of fabric stitched into the bill. You can also put iodine on it, if it turns black, it's fake, orange-brown is good. The texture of the bill should not be smooth and if you rub your fingers over the bottom right 100 number that is different than the other numbers, it should feel grainy. Also, the colors of the bill should not be too dark, most fake bills look very dark compared to good ones.
Use more than 1 way to check, I've seen counterfeits pass the iodine test, some of them have the face and strip drawn in, etc...
Note: The old hundred dollar bills don't have the face and strip protection, it should still pass the other tests.

Does a one hundred dollar bill series 1963 have a metal strip or extra face to tell the difference from a real and fake?
No. Anti-counterfeiting features on older bills are not very strong. FWIW the "extra face" is called a watermark.
How do tell if a two dollar bill is real?
Two dollar bills generally are not counterfeited, so odds are it's genuine. If you're not sure, take a close look at the paper. A real bill will have tiny red and blue fibers embedded in the material.
