Pricing things "appropriately" playing a smith character always has me second-guessing myself. I think the topic came up before, but no definite value was given then either. As Sounsyy said, it might just be something left nebulous and best handled by being vague as others have been. Still, I do like the 5 gil= $1 idea, and have always assumed there were larger denomination coins.
Though, truth be told, I usually make stuff up. I had Chachan ask for 50 gil for a letter opener he made, for example. And then just worry I picked a bad number until they pay it.
