'bob' is a slang word for the old British Shilling, (20 shillings = 1 pound), we no longer use the shilling, but the phrase, 'a few bob' lives on, literally it would mean anything from a few shillings to thousands or even millions of pounds. e.g. "Petes done well for himself, nice car, nice house, exotic holidays, I bet he's worth a few bob!"
