I never use numbers when talking about gil. People use starting food as a metric, but you can also go spend 2k+ on some popotos au gratin in Ishgard, and I can't think of any fine dining place on the planet where some potatoes, cream and cheese runs you $250.
Instead, I just try to give approximations: Enough to eat for a day, enough for a fine dinner out, enough to change someone's life... That kind of thing. It gets across the same idea without needing to worry about how much gil a gil is actually valued at. The 1 gil = 1 yen conversion works out okay to start, but it doesn't scale so hot.
