Factual error: When Anton Sigurh stopped to refuel at the gas station in the middle of nowhere and the owner told him, "I seen you was from Dallas," that's a factual error. In Texas, the DMV issues license plate numbers at random, so that the man couldn't "read" Sigurh's tags to determine where the vehicle had been registered. Therefore, the very tense scene that follows, where the poor man is one coin toss away from getting killed, is based on a factual error.

Nervous Accountant: Are you going to shoot me?
Anton Chigurh: That depends. Do you see me?

Trivia: After burning and exploding a car, Anton Chigurh enters a pharmacy called Mike Zoss Pharmacy, to steal syringes, antibiotics and other stuff. The Coen brothers hung out at the real "Mike Zoss Drugs" located in a small shopping center call Texa Tonka, in St. Louis Park, a first ring suburb west of Minneapolis, Minnesota, when they were growing up and named it after him in the film as an homage. Mike Zoss Productions is the name of their production company (also named after the same man). "Mr. Zoss never asked us to leave," the brothers told Vanity Fair in 2011. "Out of gratitude we named our production company after him." The drugstore, founded in 1950, was later run by Mike's son Barry.
