They have a horizontal red stripe over a horizontal white stripe but they each have their own meaning: Monaco's red and white flag are the heraldic colors of the Grimaldi family. The colors appear as a diamond shaped pattern on the shield of the family's coat of arms. Indonesia's flag's red stripe symbolizes blood and represents the human body; the white stripe represents the soul and the spirit; and when put together the red and white represent a complete human being. Hope this helps. :)
