You really can't. Fake $100 bills are often made with bleached 20's or other smaller notes. you can check with a counterfeit pen. Also hold up to the light & you'll see a watermark of Ben Franklin if it's a newer one (newer than 2003). Plus check the security magnetic strip going down 1 quarter of the bill.. Then there are the red & blue fibers. US currency has red & blue fibers in it. If you look closely you'll see the red & blue fibers embedded in the cloth.. they kind of look like little hairs. There are some other characteristics, but that is about it.

With a "new" $100 bill, you can sometimes feel the tiny ridges in the tiny engraved details.
A fake bill thats been printed on regular paper will feel flat and flimsy to the touch. Real money is printed on a linen paper that has a completely different "touch" than cotton paper.
No single clue will reveal every fake bill. You need experience handling money, and knowlege of the many anti-counterfeit features built into the money.
Most of the time, the fake is obvious. when its not, its usually the preponderance of other clues that give it away.
