I've also characterized her as someone who lives frugally but actually has a lot of money she's willing to drop on unexpected problems, so instances in which she pisses a lot of Gil away for a specific IC purpose are usually done with a banknote.
I typically use banknotes, or for large amounts, I describe it in other terms like:
Weeks wages for a laborer, years wages, a laborer could work for decades and never see such a sum. Small house, large house, mansion. Suit of armor, trained chocobo, food for a week, etc etc.
