Both the $1 and $2 bill lack security features such as watermarks and threads because the denominations are so low that counterfeiting isn't a concern. No one prints fake $1 bills.

Is there a security strip in a 1950 US 20 dollar bill?

Security strips were introduced along with the 1990 redesign. About the only significant anti-counterfeiting feature in a 1950 bill would be tiny blue and red fibers embedded in its paper. There are no watermarks, microprinting, or yellow "20" overprints as there are on modern bills.

How is a one-dollar bill and a two-dollar bill alike?

They are the only two denominations that haven't been redesigned to use colored inks and incorporate extra security features. $1 bills were last redesigned in 1963 and $2 bills in 1976. The Treasury feels that their low value means they aren't likely to be heavily counterfeited, and the cost of adding the newer inks and security measures outweighs the risk.
