How do you tell a real hundred dollar bill?

There are several ways, hold up the bill to a light source so that you may see through it. On the right hand side there should be a faint picture of Benjamin Franklin, on the left there should be a strip going down with the words one hundred. It should also have little pieces of red or another color of fabric stitched into the bill. You can also put iodine on it, if it turns black, it's fake, orange-brown is good. The texture of the bill should not be smooth and if you rub your fingers over the bottom right 100 number that is different than the other numbers, it should feel grainy. Also, the colors of the bill should not be too dark, most fake bills look very dark compared to good ones.

Use more than 1 way to check, I've seen counterfeits pass the iodine test, some of them have the face and strip drawn in, etc...

Note: The old hundred dollar bills don't have the face and strip protection, it should still pass the other tests.

Blue Ink

From 1928 to the late 1960s the US issued several different types of paper money. Different seal colors were used to make it easy to tell the bills apart:

  • Federal Reserve Notes (what we have now) : green ink
  • Silver certificates : blue
  • Gold certificates : gold
  • United States Notes : red
  • Special WWII currency : yellow or brown

Serial numbers: Serial numbers rarely help to ID a bill or affect its value. They're counters and an anti-counterfeiting feature.

Redemption: At one time silver certificates could be redeemed for a dollar's worth of silver, but that practice was suspended back in 1968.

Withdrawal: Silver certificates have never been formally withdrawn, but the last ones were printed in the early 1960s (despite the 1957 date) so it's almost impossible to find one in circulation today.

What is a bill with a red treasury seal called?

As the banner across the top front of the bill indicates, it's a United States Note.

US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government instead of by the Federal Reserve System (1914 and later) or other banks (pre-1914). By the 1960s they made up only a small fraction of the bills in circulation so production was ended as a cost-saving move.

What is the value of a 1973 Eisenhower US proof dollar in brown box with gold color US seal on box cover?

While there are regular proof issues of this coin, the packaging you refer to is what is known as a "brown box" IKE and those were only issued to collectors from the San Fransisco mint in 40% silver between 1971 and 1974. The 1973-S 40% Proof, which you have, is the KEY DATE for the Eisenhower series and is worth $25-45 depending on condition (more if it is professionally graded). The coin is scarce (only a million minted) and is worth roughly $5 just in bullion value alone.

I assume you mean a dollar bill, not a coin.

The motto In God We Trust was only added to paper currency beginning in the late 1950s, so if your bill is older than that it is not an error. My suggestion would be to post a new question giving the bill's date and series letter, if any, that appears right after the date; also please note the color of the Treasury seal.

Please post a new question with a description of the images on the bill and the name of the bank or town that issued it.

The S'ung dynasty was the first to issue true paper money in 1023, and it did so at first cautiously, issuing small amounts, used in a limited area, and good for a specific time period.
