Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s” or “we”) has nine operating segments: • Each of the five countries within Largest 5 Markets (U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil and Canada) • Each of the three regions within Global Markets (Latin America; Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia) • Payment Services Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit obligations, legal contingencies, business divestitures and deferred tax assets. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brink’s and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Our interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method, provided we sufficiently influence the management of the investee. Other investments are accounted for as cost-method investments or as available-for-sale. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign Currency Translation Our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not. Economies with an officially reported three -year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Local-currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. Venezuela The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years. We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has controlled the exchange of local currency into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar, and has required that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open markets to determine currency rates. Different official rates existed for different industries and purposes and the government does not approve all requests to convert bolivars to other currencies. As a result of the restrictions on currency exchange, we have in the past been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to fully operate our business in Venezuela. Consequently, we have occasionally purchased more expensive, bolivar-denominated supplies and fixed assets. Furthermore, there is a risk that official currency exchange mechanisms will be discontinued or will not be accessible when needed in the future, which may prevent us from repatriating dividends or obtaining dollars to operate our Venezuelan operations. Remeasurement rates during 2015 . In March 2014, the government initiated an exchange mechanism known as SICAD II with conversions subject to specific eligibility requirements. Transactions were reported in a range of 49 to 52 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. From March 2014 through December 31, 2014, we received approval to obtain a total of $1.2 million (at a weighted average exchange rate of 51 bolivars to the dollar) through the SICAD II mechanism. Through February 11, 2015, we used the SICAD II rates to remeasure our bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses. Effective February 12, 2015, the government replaced the SICAD II process with a new process, known locally as SIMADI and we began to use the SIMADI rate to remeasure bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses. As a result, we recognized an $18.1 million net remeasurement loss in the first nine months of 2015. The after-tax effect of this loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2015. The SIMADI rates published from mid-February 2015 through the end of 2015 ranged from 170 to 200 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. We received only minimal U.S. dollars through this exchange mechanism. Remeasurement rates during 2016 . In the first quarter of 2016, the Venezuelan government announced that they would replace the SIMADI exchange mechanism with the DICOM exchange mechanism and would allow the DICOM exchange mechanism rate to float freely. At March 31, 2016, the DICOM rate was approximately 273 bolivars to the dollar. Since March 31, 2016, the rate has declined 59% to close at approximately 659 bolivars to the dollar at September 30, 2016 . We have received only minimal U.S. dollars through this exchange mechanism. We recognized a $4.7 million pretax remeasurement loss in the first nine months of 2016 . However, the after-tax effect in the current period attributable to noncontrolling interest was income of $2.7 million . Items related to our Venezuelan operations are as follows: • Our investment in our Venezuelan operations on an equity-method basis was $20.6 million at September 30, 2016 and $26.0 million at December 31, 2015 . • Our Venezuelan operations had net payables to other Brink's affiliates of $9.3 million at September 30, 2016 and $18.7 million at December 31, 2015 . • Our Venezuelan operations had net non-monetary assets of $16.7 million at September 30, 2016 and $13.5 million at December 31, 2015 . • Our bolivar-denominated net monetary net assets were $2.4 million (including $5.8 million of cash and cash equivalents) at September 30, 2016 and $9.5 million (including $6.2 million of cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2015 . • Accumulated other comprehensive losses attributable to Brink’s shareholders related to our Venezuelan operations were $112.5 million at September 30, 2016 and $113.0 million at December 31, 2015 . Impairment of Long-lived Assets in Venezuela During the second quarter of 2015, Brink's elected to evaluate and pursue strategic options for the Venezuelan business, which required us to perform an impairment review of the carrying values of our Venezuelan long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment . Our asset impairment analysis included management's best estimate of associated cash flows relating to the long-lived assets and included fair value assumptions that reflect conditions that exist in a volatile economic environment. Future events or actions relative to our Venezuelan business may result in further adjustments. As a result of our impairment analysis, we recognized a $34.5 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2015. We recognized an additional $0.8 million in impairment charges in the third quarter of 2015. The current carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Venezuelan operations is $9.7 million at September 30, 2016 . We have not reclassified any of the $112.5 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses attributable to Brink’s shareholders related to Brink’s Venezuela into earnings. Ireland Due to management's decision in the first quarter of 2016 to exit the Republic of Ireland, the prospective impacts of shutting down this operation are included in items not allocated to segments and are excluded from the operating segments effective March 1, 2016. This activity is also excluded from the consolidated non-GAAP results. Beginning May 1, 2016, due to management's decision to also exit Northern Ireland, the results of shutting down these operations are treated similarly to the Republic of Ireland. Revenues from both Ireland operations to be shut down in 2016 were approximately $20 million in 2015. In the first nine months of 2016, charges excluded from non-GAAP results include $4.8 million in severance costs, $2.0 million in property impairment charges, lease restructuring charges of $0.5 million and an additional $5.3 million in operating and other exit costs. International shipments to and from Ireland will continue to be provided through Brink’s Global Services ("BGS"). Restricted Cash In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with this offering, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation (see Note 10). During the second quarter of 2016, we identified a misclassification in our December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This misclassification, which was corrected on our December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet included on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016, decreased our December 31, 2015 cash and cash equivalents balance and increased restricted cash by $16.4 million , increased restricted cash held for customers and decreased accrued liabilities by $12.9 million , increased short term borrowings and decreased current maturities of long-term debt by $3.5 million . This misclassification had no impact on our December 31, 2015 current assets and current liabilities and it did not impact our consolidated statement of operations, but impacts the December 31, 2015 consolidated statement of cash flows by reducing net cash provided by operating activities from $208.8 million to $195.9 million and increasing net cash used by financing activities from $49.0 million to $52.5 million . Neither of these changes affect comparability to the previous period. Accordingly, we do not consider this correction to be material to our consolidated balance sheet or statement of cash flows. Argentina We use the official exchange rate to translate the Brink's Argentina balance sheet and income statement. At September 30, 2016 , the official exchange rate was approximately 15.4 Argentine pesos to the U.S. dollar. The government in Argentina had previously imposed limits on the exchange of Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. As a result, we elected in the past and may continue in the future to repatriate cash from Argentina using markets to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars if U.S. dollars are not readily available. Prior to the December 2015 devaluation of the Argentine peso, we converted Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars at rates approximately 30% to 40% less favorable than the rates at which we translated the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina. However, after the December 2015 devaluation of the Argentine peso, the market rates used to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars have been similar to the rates at which we translate the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina. See Note 10 Supplemental cash flow information for more information. In the first nine months of 2016 , we recognized $0.1 million in losses from converting Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. In the third quarter of 2015 and in the first nine months of 2015 , we recognized $2.3 million in losses from converting Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. These conversion losses are classified in the income statement as other operating income (expense). At September 30, 2016 , we had cash denominated in Argentine pesos of $11.2 million . New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, a new standard related to revenue recognition which requires an entity to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018. Subsequently, the FASB has continued to refine the standard and has issued several amendments. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting and have not yet selected a transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which will require the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for certain leases classified as operating leases under current accounting guidance. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing activities. ASU 2016-02 will be effective January 1, 2019 and we are assessing the potential impact of the standard on financial reporting. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which will simplify how certain features related to share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new standard is effective January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. ASU 2016-13 is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted January 1, 2019. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting.

Retirement benefits other than pensions We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees. Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operation include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for United Mine Workers of America Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

Excluding those items, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2016 is 48% . The rate is higher than 35% primarily due to book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on undistributed earnings and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit. 2015 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2015 was greater than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant nondeductible expenses resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela in the first quarter and from the Venezuela impairment recorded in the second quarter. Excluding these nondeductible expenses, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months is 48% . The rate was higher than 35% primarily due to cross border payments, nondeductible expenses in Mexico and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit.

Fair value of financial instruments	Fair value of financial instruments Fixed-Rate Debt The fair value and carrying value of our fixed-rate debt are as follows: (In millions) September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Unsecured notes issued in a private placement Carrying value $ 85.7 92.9 Fair value 88.8 95.7 The fair value estimate of our unsecured private-placement notes is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for similar instruments at the respective measurement dates, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation. There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first nine months of 2016 . Other Financial Instruments Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, floating rate debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value. We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At September 30, 2016 , the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $51.9 million , with average maturities of approximately one month. These shorter term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the British pound and the Mexican peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fair values of these currency contracts are determined using Level 2 valuation techniques and are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts. At September 30, 2016 , the fair value of these shorter term foreign currency contracts was not significant. In 2013, we entered into a longer term cross-currency swap to hedge against the change in value of a long-term intercompany loan denominated in Brazilian real. This longer term contract is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2016 , the notional value of this contract was $9.5 million with a weighted average maturity of 0.7 years . The fair value of the cross-currency swap is determined using Level 2 valuation techniques and is based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts. At September 30, 2016 , the fair value of this longer term contract was a net asset of $3.8 million , of which $2.4 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.4 million is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. In the first quarter of 2016, we entered into two interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $40 million . These swaps were entered into to hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2016 , the fair value of these swaps was a net liability of $0.5 million . The fair values of these interest rate swaps are determined using Level 2 valuation techniques and are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts. There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first nine months of 2016 .

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-based compensation plans	Share-based compensation plans We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders. We have granted share-based awards to employees under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan") and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan"). These plans permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees. The 2013 Plan also permits cash awards to eligible employees. The 2005 Plan was replaced by the 2013 Plan effective February 2013. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2005 Plan. We have granted deferred stock units to directors through the Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan. Share-based awards were granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, both of which have expired. Outstanding awards at September 30, 2016 include performance share units, market share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and stock options. Compensation Expense Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method. For employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. In February 2016, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors modified the terms of performance share units originally awarded or granted in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to reflect the impact of removing Venezuela operations from the Company’s segment results beginning in 2015. For each of the affected performance share units, consolidated results for 2015 and each subsequent year within the respective performance period was or will be adjusted to reflect Venezuela results at the amount originally projected in the applicable performance target. No incremental compensation cost associated with the modification is expected to be recognized as the modified goal is expected to be more difficult to achieve and, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , we continue to recognize expense as calculated using the original performance goal. Compensation expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the share-based awards were as follows: Compensation Expense Compensation Expense Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Performance Share Units $ 0.6 1.6 2.9 6.1 Market Share Units (0.2 ) 0.2 — 2.1 Restricted Stock Units 0.9 0.6 2.9 2.5 Deferred Stock Units 0.3 0.1 0.6 0.3 Stock Options 0.2 — 0.3 — Share-based payment expense 1.8 2.5 6.7 11.0 Income tax benefit (0.6 ) (0.8 ) (2.3 ) (3.7 ) Share-based payment expense, net of tax $ 1.2 1.7 4.4 7.3 Stock Options In 2016, we granted performance-based stock options. In addition to a service condition, these awards also contain a performance condition as well as a market condition. We measure the fair value of these options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first nine months of 2016 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015 — $ — Granted 580.9 6.01 Forfeited — — Exercised — — Outstanding balance as of September 30, 2016 580.9 $ 6.01 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) We granted RSUs that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of RSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. The following table summarizes RSU activity during the first nine months of 2016 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 273.0 $ 26.16 Granted 205.6 28.76 Forfeited (45.2 ) 26.86 Vested (109.0 ) 26.49 Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2016 324.4 $ 27.60 Performance Share Units ("PSUs”) Prior to 2016, we granted PSUs which contained a performance condition, a market condition and a service condition. In 2016, we granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs"). IM PSUs contain a performance condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. For the majority of the IM PSUs granted in 2016, the performance period is from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017, with an additional year of service required. Other IM PSUs granted in 2016 have a performance period from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, with an additional two years of service required. TSR PSUs contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2016, the performance period is from January 1, 2016 to December 1, 2018. The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the first nine months of 2016 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 503.4 $ 25.93 Granted 375.0 29.18 Forfeited (103.7 ) 28.78 Vested (a) (162.9 ) 23.73 Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2016 611.8 $ 28.03 (a) The vested PSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. Pursuant to the actual performance for the period ended December 31, 2015, the actual shares earned and distributed were 277.1 , representing 171% of target or, for a smaller award, 125% of target. Market Share Units ("MSUs”) Prior to 2016, we granted MSUs which contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of MSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes all MSU activity during the first nine months of 2016 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 258.8 $ 27.40 Granted — — Forfeited (32.8 ) 29.30 Vested (a) (84.3 ) 27.30 Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2016 141.7 $ 27.02 (a) The vested MSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. Pursuant to the actual performance for the period ended December 31, 2015, the actual shares earned and distributed were 91.1 , or 108% of target. No additional compensation expense was required, as the market condition was included in the $27.30 grant date fair value. Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") We granted DSUs to our independent directors. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock. In 2015 and 2016, our independent directors received grants of DSUs that vest and will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs are forfeited if a director leaves before the vesting date. However, in connection with the retirement of two directors in January 2016, our board of directors waived the one -year vesting provision for those DSUs granted in 2015. The impact of this modification was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and was not significant. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service. The following table summarizes all DSU activity during the first nine months of 2016 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 21.4 $ 32.79 Granted 29.7 29.41 Forfeited — — Vested (21.4 ) 31.72 Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2016 29.7 $ 29.41

No interest expense was included in discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2015. (b) The loss from operations in the first nine months of 2015 included $1.0 million in pension settlement charges related to the Mexican parcel delivery service sold in February 2015. (c) Primarily related to former businesses previously exited. Operations sold classified as discontinued operations: • In February 2015, we sold a small Mexican parcel delivery business which met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2014. Other divestitures not classified as discontinued operations: • We sold an Irish guarding operation in November 2015. • We sold our 70% ownership interest in a Russian cash management business in November 2015 and recognized a $5.9 million loss on the disposition in the fourth quarter of 2015. A significant part of the loss ( $5.0 million ) represented the reclassification of foreign currency adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Revenues and income (loss) from operations before tax were not significant for the Irish guarding business or the Russian cash management business.

In the first nine months of 2016 , cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $2.1 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $2.0 million . In the first nine months of 2015 , cash outflows from the purchase of these securities totaled $6.9 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $4.6 million . The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the debt securities are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities We acquired $18.9 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2016 compared to $8.5 million in armored vehicles and point of sale equipment acquired under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2015 . Cash Supply Chain Services In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. Providing this service requires our French subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received from the management of our customers' cash supply chains until the cash is returned to the customers. As part of this service offering, we have entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements is used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains. The cash for which we have temporary title and the cash borrowed under these customer lending arrangements is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. At September 30, 2016 , we held $46.8 million of restricted cash ( $13.5 million represented short-term borrowings and $33.3 million represented restricted cash held for customers). At December 31, 2015 , we held $16.4 million of restricted cash ( $3.5 million represented short-term borrowings and $12.9 million represented restricted cash held for customers).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingent matters	Contingent matters On June 19, 2008, a lawsuit captioned Del Valle Gurria S.C. v. Servicio Pan Americano de Protección, S.A. de C.V. was filed with the Twenty-third Civil Judge in the Federal District in Mexico (the “Court”) against Servicio Pan American de Proteccion, S.A. de C.V. (SERPAPROSA), the Mexico subsidiary that we acquired in November 2010. The plaintiff claims it is owed legal fees and corresponding value-added tax (VAT), interest and expenses related to its legal representation of SERPAPROSA in connection with tax audits covering the 1991, 1992 and 1994 fiscal years. On October 28, 2010, the Court issued a decision in favor of SERPAPROSA in part and the plaintiff in part, ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff less than $1 million for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA. Between November 2010 and October 2013, the judgment was subject to multiple appeals by both parties to the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal of the Federal District in Mexico (the “Fifth Civil Court of Appeal”) and to the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal of the First Circuit in Mexico (the “First Civil Collegiate Tribunal”), and was remanded twice to the Court for determination of the fees to be paid to the plaintiff. On December 6, 2013, the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal issued a decision in favor of the plaintiff, modifying the lower court’s ruling and ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff approximately $7 million plus VAT and interest for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA. SERPAPROSA filed a constitutional injunction on January 20, 2014 with the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal. The appeal was granted in favor of SERPAPROSA on September 17, 2014, ordering SERPAPROSA to pay approximately $2 million plus VAT and interest. The plaintiff filed an appeal on October 7, 2014, with the Mexico Supreme Court, which was rejected by the court on October 22, 2014. The plaintiff filed two subsequent actions appealing the Supreme Court’s October 22, 2014 decision, one before the First Appellate Court in Civil Matters of the First Circuit (the “Appellate Court”) and one with the Mexico Supreme Court. The action filed before the Appellate Court was rejected on February 16, 2015. The action filed with the Mexico Supreme Court was rejected on October 15, 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we became aware of an investigation initiated by COFECE (the Mexican antitrust agency) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Mexico (the industry in which Brink’s Mexican subsidiary, SERPAPROSA, is active). Because no legal proceedings have been initiated against SERPAPROSA, we cannot estimate the probability of loss or any range of estimate of possible loss at this time. It is possible that SERPAPROSA could become the subject of legal or administrative claims or proceedings, however, that could result in a loss that could be material to the Company’s results in a future period. In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable. Except as otherwise noted, we do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company should have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Reorganization and Restructuring	Reorganization and Restructuring 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring Brink's initiated a global restructuring of its business in the third quarter of 2015 and recognized $11.6 million in related 2015 costs. We recognized an additional $5.3 million in costs in the first nine months of 2016 related to employee severance, contract terminations, and lease terminations associated with the restructuring. The 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring is expected to reduce the global workforce by approximately 1,100 positions and is projected to result in $20 to $25 million in 2016 cost savings. At September 30, 2016 , the actions under this program were substantially completed, with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $17 million . The following table summarizes the costs incurred, payments and utilization, and foreign currency exchange effects of the 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring: (In millions) Severance Costs Contract Terminations Lease Terminations Total Balance as of January 1, 2016 $ 6.3 — — 6.3 Expense 3.0 0.8 1.5 5.3 Payments and utilization (7.5 ) (0.2 ) (1.2 ) (8.9 ) Foreign currency exchange effects 0.1 — — 0.1 Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 1.9 0.6 0.3 2.8 Executive Leadership and Board of Directors Restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized $1.8 million in costs related to the restructuring of executive leadership and Board of Directors, which was announced in January 2016. We also recognized an additional $4.3 million in charges, primarily severance costs, in the first nine months of 2016. At September 30, 2016 , $1.4 million was recorded in accrued liabilities related to these restructuring actions, which include the departure of our former CFO in September 2016, our former CEO in May 2016 and the retirement of two Board members in January 2016. 2014 Reorganization and Restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2014, we announced a reorganization and restructuring of Brink’s global organization to accelerate the execution of our strategy by reducing costs and providing for a more streamlined and centralized organization. As part of this program, we reduced our total workforce by approximately 1,700 positions. The restructuring saved annual direct costs of approximately $50 million in 2015 compared to 2014, excluding charges for severance, lease termination and accelerated depreciation. We recorded total pretax charges of $21.8 million in 2014 and an additional $1.2 million of pretax charges in the first nine months of 2015 related to the 2014 Reorganization and Restructuring. The actions under this program were substantially completed by the end of 2015 with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $24 million , primarily severance costs.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit obligations, legal contingencies, business divestitures and deferred tax assets.
Consolidation	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brink’s and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Our interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method, provided we sufficiently influence the management of the investee. Other investments are accounted for as cost-method investments or as available-for-sale. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not. Economies with an officially reported three -year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Local-currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. Venezuela The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years. We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets in Venezuela	Impairment of Long-lived Assets in Venezuela During the second quarter of 2015, Brink's elected to evaluate and pursue strategic options for the Venezuelan business, which required us to perform an impairment review of the carrying values of our Venezuelan long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment . Our asset impairment analysis included management's best estimate of associated cash flows relating to the long-lived assets and included fair value assumptions that reflect conditions that exist in a volatile economic environment. Future events or actions relative to our Venezuelan business may result in further adjustments.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with this offering, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, a new standard related to revenue recognition which requires an entity to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018. Subsequently, the FASB has continued to refine the standard and has issued several amendments. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting and have not yet selected a transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which will require the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for certain leases classified as operating leases under current accounting guidance. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing activities. ASU 2016-02 will be effective January 1, 2019 and we are assessing the potential impact of the standard on financial reporting. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which will simplify how certain features related to share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new standard is effective January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. ASU 2016-13 is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted January 1, 2019. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting.
