1Please address them all to me! :) I would go with the first over the latter, but might say, "1's and 5's" if we'd already established enough context to do so.– Kai MaxfieldCommented Feb 11, 2016 at 20:31

It's often recommended to write out small numbers in full, and in this case it makes sense and is clear.
"Please bring lots of one dollar and five dollar bills".
If it's already clearly established that you are talking about dollar currency:
"Please bring lots of ones and fives"
