In Google Ads, is there a minimum cost per click that advertisers need to bid to have their ad show up?

Google has a minimum (actually, very high from my experience) for the privilege of taking a non-commercial SERP and making it commercial. 

When I've tried this in the past, it can cost $1.00 or more, even if nobody is bidding on the term.
