That's all my collection of monkeys on banknotes (except one from Madagascar 2000 Ariary that impossible to scan). I will continue update this thread when I have new addition to my collection. Will be glad to see your banknotes show monkeys and other primates. |

The Lao Issara ("Free Laos") was an anti French, non communist nationalist movement formed on October 12, 1945. This short-lived movement emerged after the Japanese defeat in World War II and became the government of Laos before the return of the French. It aimed to prevent the French from restoring their control over Laos. The Lao Issara movement disbanded in 1949.
The Lao Issara issued four different banknotes, from them I have one of 50 Att (unit of Kip).
Translation of the back:
"The counterfeiter or dealer of counterfeit banknotes will be punished with hard labor imprisonment from 5 years up to life sentence and all of its properties will be confiscated according to art. 5 - law 18 January 2489 ( 1946 )
The Minister of finances Mr. Katay Don Sasorit"

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:

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:
