How Much Is A Bill?

Heard the term "bill" used several times on the bus tonight. As in, "it's gonna cost at least a bill, mate." At first I thought perhaps 5 pounds since that's the smallest note. But then the conversation included, "that's room, food, everythin' bruv," and concluded it must mean something larger, like 20 or 100 pounds. I'll ask my English slang informant, Sucad, tomorrow.
