For a bill, it is comparatively easy. It should have no fold marks and the bill should feel "crisp" there should also be no tears in the bill.
For coins, you have to look at the wear, nothing should be smoothed down (although, particularly with earlier coin there are coins with weak strikes which looks like wear to the untrained eye) the coin might have scratches from being in a bag with other coins (although these do decrease the value, they are not considered wear and the coin will still be considered uncirculated with scratches) different coins have different high points where wear first starts to show, often on coins bearing a side view of a portrait, the wear will start at the ear.
