One of the Postmoogle quests actually has you getting a bank note to purchase stock in ceruleum futures, so there's that. For absolutely massive sums of money, you can use bank notes. For the smaller amounts, I would agree that there's probably the equivalent of the 100 yen coin and the like - most likely gil of a different material with the amount its worth printed on it.
So you'd have a handful of 100 gil coins and those of other denominations instead of carrying around the equivalent of a sack full of pennies.
