Nit-pick alert!
I don't know about the Mac but on the IIgs, Monaco is very much a
sans-serif font. Sans means without and serif, well, I don't know
what it means but it is those little extra bits at the corners and
ends of lines on a character in a font.
So sans-serif means without those extra bits, serif means it has the
extra bits.
On the IIgs, Monaco is a mono-spaced sans-serif font and Courier is a
mono-spaced serif font.
