A current real US $100 bill has :

  • A plastic security thread running though it
  • A watermark of Benjamin Franklin
  • Color-changing ink on the lower left of the front

Older ones don't have significant security features. About all you can look for would be tiny red and blue fibers that were embedded in the paper. Also check the seal to see if the points are sharp and evenly spaced.

The novice can test for fake bills using a chemical pen. However, the pen only tests the linen, so the bill may be a smaller denomination that has been altered.

What happens when you mark a 100 dollar bill it should turn what color?

When you mark a $100 bill with a special counterfeit detection pen, it should ideally leave a mark that turns yellow. If the pen marks a dark color, such as brown or black, it may indicate that the bill is counterfeit. The pen works by reacting with the starch in paper, which is absent in genuine currency.
