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:

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!
