He was a moron for not looking at all the money. He assumed there was $2million by looking at like two stacks of bills. Sure, cartels are always honest.
wtf was this homies problem? does the book provide any backgound? was he some sort of spook before becoming an assassin? what would he even do with the money if he got it?
He's from a part of the world and from a walk of life where the kind of raw carnage he partakes in is normal, he has no backstory because just like those coins he loves so much he's a random no-name scumbag interchangeable with any other - only important or of note in this story's particular situation because of the focus he's been given
Chigurh thinks he's some untouchable grim reaper and an agent of fate until the same fate he imagines himself to serve sucker punches him and nearly has him killed out of nowhere by some stupid butthole in a buick blowing a red light, forcefully confronting him with the fact that he isn't special and is merely an aging hitman who was lucky for a while
His ending in the story is so great because it doesn't even give him any kind of climactic resolution or flashy, violent demise, his pretensions of being important or significant are torn from him by the same mechanisms of causality that he's spent the entire time boasting are on his side
He thought he was Judge Holden but ultimately realized that he was just Nameless Scalp Hunter #17
In the book it goes into a bit more detail about Chigurh. After he recovers the money he brings it to the man at the very top of the criminal conspiracy. He reveals that he went through all this effort to eliminate all of the loos ends and recover as much money as possible in order to establish himself as extremely loyal and dedicated. All in an effort to lead that persons drug smuggling business absolutely going forward. It also hints that he had been doing wet work for the local texas big wigs for some time.
It's a very interesting scene that doesn't get talked about very much since it's book-exclusive
The employer seems very uncomfortable and annoyed while talking to Chigurh and continually expresses concern over how Chigurh managed to find him; it's sort of ambiguous whether Chigurh's "employment pitch" worked out in the end, or if he got too wienery and overstepped his boundaries, making himself a liability in the eyes of the organization that will end up getting whacked later
Shoot him with a gun, like it happened in the movie.
Unleash a stampede of BULLS upon him!! Scary mf
by checking the drug money you found in the desert for a tracking device before you take it
It takes place in 1980.
Llewelyn was pretty clever and had been in Vietnam. Surely he'd know that cartels would be tracking that much money.
isn't the point that he isn't smart enough?
He's too old.
then why the hell would hispanics be lojacking their drugs

Throw the tracker in the back of a passing truck.

leave texas
During his coin-toss, throw a handful of identical quarters in the air, causing him to stumble in confusion and fall to his death.
I cannot sanction your buffoonery.

Catch the coin in the air and swallow it
Live inside of a large and very busy international airport
