According to the game, our characters are fairly special people - certainly above average in opportunity and such. I'd hesitate to think the average normal citizen would have the ability to teleport (though that brings up an entirely separate topic on the reality of the Teleport spell and its costs - if one can teleport anywhere, why would it cost money ICly? But that's a bit off-topic).Actually, there's an easy answer for this - gil are the material components for the teleport spell. The further you need to teleport, the more gil you need to successfully make the transfer.
It could also handily explain why gil is valuable in the first place - it's not just shiny pieces of metal, they also have a practical use.
