I would think something like 2 $5s and 10 $1s would look substantial enough, but please don't take that as a recommendation.
I learned the hard way that you can't always get along on a debit card. We had a storm that knocked out debit card validations, and we couldn't use debit cards or ATMs for about five days. Galveston Island used to be more susceptible to that kind of thing than most places, because every cable came through the same tunnel.
