Go find a recent GBP, CAD, or AUD note. Printed on a polymer stock you can't just get at Office Depot, so it doesn't feel like paper. Has clear windows and shiny foil elements in said stock, so if you look at it for 3 seconds, it won't be right.
Although, even throwing the US a bone, they have introduced some better security features, and the intaglio printing process does impart a specific feel that you can detect, it's of limited benefit because they never withdraw notes. I've gotten notes from the 1960s in circulation.
