According to the 2011 Red Book, your ten dollar bill is worth US$10
No, microprinting was added to U.S. currency starting in 1990, and watermarks did not appear until 1996 with the redesign of the $50. However, the paper used will be the same... 100% cotton with very small visible red and blue fibers embedded on the surface of the bill.
The motto was not added to bills until the late 1950s and early 1960s so an older bill without the motto is normal and not a printing error.There are 12 different varieties of $5 bill from 1928 so you need to know the seal color and whether there's a small letter next to the date. Values as of 02/2009:Red Seal:No letter or A to E - $6.-$10F - $8.-$13.Green Seal:No letter or A - $8.-$35B - $8.-$20.C - $200.-$650.D - $400.-$1000.
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. 1953-series $5 bills were issued as blue-seal silver certificates and red-seal US Notes, but not as green-seal FRN's
The paper used to print US currency is composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen with red and blue fibers scattered throughout it.
