I'm a little surprised nobody's mentioned Hamon's quest dialogue in the level 5 pugilist quest, Harder than Rock... 500 gil (which you pick up right off the street, but Hamon seems surprised that you found so much) is good for "a week's worth of..." something. Food? A stay at an inn? A good inn? Unfortunately he trails off there, so it's not entirely helpful, I suppose, but it's the one example of a NPC describing a specific amount of gil and approximating its value that I can remember off the top of my head... and there might be more examples out there if anybody feels like digging.
edit: why are youtube videos so friggin' hard to link on this forum. No, I didn't want to embed the video...
