My interpretation was that Anton got the money out of the went, since an opened vent is show with what I'm told are drag marks in it from the suitcase, with the dime used by the permanently screwdriverless Anton lying meaningfully on the floor. It's not an absolute guarantee that Anton got the money, but it's the kind of movie that errs on the side of being subtle.
As someone mentioned before, the Mexican gang didn't have time to find the money, which we can assume was in that vent.
The Road and No Country are good, but his best book is Blood Meridian--I would say it blew me away, but overuse of that phrase would prevent the full impact of that book from being conveyed. Whereas No Country and All the Pretty Horses focus on the loss of purpose and sense of belonging that comes with a changing of one's world, Blood Meridian seems more interested in the question of purpose and belonging in the face of death and being forgotten, in addition to the other themes it explores. That book is deep as hell, though that fact can be obscured by the abundant and brutal violence in the story.
