Run it through one cycle in the washing machine. If it comes out crumpled, but still in one piece, it's real. In shreds, it's fake.

You can usually tell just by looking at it - it's just not the right color of green. Also - the texture is different. You can hold a real bill in one hand and a fake bill in another and feel the difference. There are also features on the bill itself - there is a watermark that you can only see if you hold up to the light of the president's face that is on the bill, there is a strip running through the bill that has the denomination listed on it.
