there no such thing Older bills didn't have a lot of anti-counterfeiting features so you won't be able to find a security strip, watermark, or microprinting. The first thing to look for instead would be small red and blue fibers embedded in the paper. They're very difficult to reproduce in a fake, so their presence is a good but not perfect indicator that your bill is real. Another detail to check is that the lettering inside small regions such as the Treasury Seal is clear and even. Unfortunately none of these are perfect clues so if you have any doubts the best resource is a currency dealer or appraiser who has the necessary tools (magnifiers, books of photos for comparison, etc.) to verify your bill in person.
