I don't collect world paper money but browse through these topics every now and then. These are fascinating and beautiful examples you have in your collection, LaoPhil, thanks for sharing!

Thank you, hokiefan_82, jbuck and walk2dwater, for your warm words.

In August 2018, Venezuela changed its currency due to high inflation. 100,000 Bolivar Fuerte became 1 Bolivar Soberano. A new set of banknotes was issued from 2 Bolivar Soberano up to 500 Bolivar Soberano. Here is the new 100 Bolivares depicting Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) from the Guatopo National Park , Miranda:

Ezequiel Zamora, a Venezuelan soldier, and leader of the Federalists in the Federal War (Guerra Federal) of 1859-1863. Very small Spider Monkey design appears on the right upper corner:

I received as a gift from Brazil a folder contains this banknote and information (in Portuguese). Here is the folder's cover. I will post the inner pages in the "commemorative banknotes" thread:

The Brazilian commemorative is quite attractive & I missed the monkeys on the back the first time I saw it posted on Reddit recently.

The Orangutan featured on the Indonesian 500 Rupiah is very dramatic. Very attractive note & perfect addition for your primate set @LaoPhil!

Many thanks, walk2dwater and jbuck! Yes, I really love the Orangutan Indonesian banknote, my first in my collection.

As far as I know, there is no official state banknote shows Chimpanzee. But I have a Notgeld of 75 Pfennigs from Stellingen, Germany issued in 1920 depicting drunken Chimpanzee:

Carl Hagenbeck (1844 - 1913), a German merchant of wild animals who supplied many European zoos and founded Germany's most successful privately owned zoo, the Tierpark Hagenbeck, which moved to its present location in Hamburg's Stellingen district in 1907:
