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. (Note that 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.
  • If the bill is a green-seal Federal Reserve Note, the denticles (teeth) on the Federal Reserve Seal will be sharp and uniform.
  • The engraving of Jackson's face will be sharply-defined and appear almost 3D if viewed from a slight distance.

Jackson has been on the 20-dollar bill all of my lifetime and I am getting old. The $20 dollar bill buys less than a $5 bill bought when I was a boy, but I would still say they are valuable.
