Dollar Bill works, but usually ruins the bill! I switched to carrying these large thin adhesive internal tire patches.
The best way is to not have flats. For "Training" I used Armadillos and Gator Skins. For serious rides, I used "Blackchili" Continental tires. These were supported rides, so the danger of getting stranded was much less.
Oh, since I used "missing linx" on my chains, I always brough a pair of links along. I broke a link one and the chain just dropped off....
