I think I speak for everyone here when I say that Turing's bill should be a power of two. I think Turing should get a £5.12 bill.

Maybe it's £10 in binary.

There are 2p and £2 coins[1], but sadly all currency must have the monarch's head on the obverse; a second head on the reverse would probably be unwelcome.
