Best Answer

US bills printed before 1990 didn't have a lot of security features on them. 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. There won't be a watermark or security strip like newer bills, though.
  • The paper will have a substantial feel to it, the same as modern bills.
  • The denticles (teeth) on the Federal Reserve Seal will be sharp and uniform.
  • The engraving of Franklin's face will be sharply-defined and appear almost 3D if viewed from a slight distance.
