For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Some people claim it was based on an Indian 500-rupee banknote which had a picture of a monkey on it, but neither that nor any other source has ever been authenticated. The answer to your question, therefore, is really: "Nobody knows." Click here for a website all about British money-terms. It confirms the fact that the source of �monkey' = �500 is unknown.
