The Cajas Automaticos won't take the 2000p note. I have little hope for the 10,000p.

Wow.. I learned about María Remedios del Valle (the woman on the bill):

The most impressive security feature of all : By the time the bill actually makes it into general circulation, it'll be worth a few cents and you'll find them on the ground because people can't be bothered to pick them up, much less counterfeit them.

Peruvian counterfeiters will happily pick them up, as I understand they did with worthless Venezuelan banknotes: they're printed on high quality banknote paper, so the counterfeiters erase the printing and replace it with that of one of the lowest quality banknotes on the planet, the US Dollar.

Am not an expert on US currency but disagree that's it is one of "the lowest quality banknotes" on the planet", unless your post was sarcasm.

IANAE either, but the the second number of the 2-character string under the serial number is the position in the alphabet of the second letter of the serial number is a security feature, FFS? Junk, sorry.

The two character string under the serial number indicates the Federal Reserve Bank district which issued the bill. (A1 through L12, as there are 12 Federal Reserve Banks.) On bills with two letters at the beginning of the serial numbers (bills beginning with series 1996), the second letter also indicates the district of the issuing bank. This is not a security feature.

If you want to know more about US currency, including the many security features it contains, you may want to go to this page, from the U.S. Currency Education Program.

Nobody counterfeits anything but US hundreds these days, and the plastic security threads make this an unsuitable donor paper. The blue striped “ big heads” are very hard to counterfeit. They do “ wash” US ones to make pre 2013 US hundreds. Argentines often refuse these, real or fake.
