** It also has to be remembered that more than a decade separates ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' and ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars''; the former takes place in February-March 1862, during the New Mexico Campaign of the American Civil War, while the latter occurs no earlier than 1873 (the film features a tombstone with the date of death as that year). Lots of things could have happened to the $100,000 in Confederate gold during the preceding decade, even without the WordOfGod above.

* According to [[WordOfGod Clint Eastwood]], [[Creator/ClintEastwood Bill Munny]] is what became of The Man With No Name from the Film/DollarsTrilogy by Creator/SergioLeone after settling down to a life of peace... If so, why the '''heck''' does an intelligent and cunning man like Blondie/Joe/Manco have such trouble holding onto the ludicrous windfalls of cash he ''repeatedly earns'', and build a happy life with it? The fact that Blondie/Joe/Manco ended up a lowly dirt-poor pig-farmer means that he has blown through ''every'' coin from his share of the 200,000 Gold Pieces of Confederate Dollars he and [[Creator/EliWallach Tuco]] won in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' '''and''' the $27,000 for the lives of El Indio and his gang that Colonel Mortimer let him have every cent of in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore.'' '''Surely''' a man a smart as "Bill Munny" would ''already'' have invested in big city canning business the very next day after killing [[Creator/LeeVanCleef Angel Eyes]] in Sad Hill Cemetery, and ''afford'' doctors who could have saved his wife's life (not to mention give his children a proper education). Instead, he wastes every penny of his hard won blood-money in the 25 years that follows, leaving his wife dead and his children in poverty. How does ''that'' make any sense considering how cunning/smart/far-sighted Munny has shown himself to be in ''The Dollars Trilogy?''

** It is worth mentioning that within in the context of the Dollars movies themselves, Blondie/Joe/Manco was ALREADY penniless by the time ''Film/AFistfulofDollars'' began. Though, WordofGod stated that Blondie/Joe/Manco immediately gave the Confederate gold to Father Ramirez's mission because they needed it more than he did.
