Argentina Currency Conversions

We have elected to repatriate cash from Brink's Argentina using different means to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. In 2020, cash outflows from the purchases of these financial instruments totaled $20.5 million and cash inflows from the sale of these financial instruments totaled $10.1 million, resulting in $10.4 million in conversion losses at rates that were approximately 100% less favorable than rates at which we remeasured the financial statements of Brink's Argentina. In 2019, cash outflows from the purchase of these financial instruments totaled $23.6 million and cash inflows from the sale of these financial instruments totaled $18.9 million. In 2018 cash flows related to these transactions were not significant. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the financial instruments 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 armored vehicles, CompuSafe® units and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the last three years including $31.4 million in 2020, $59.7 million in 2019 and $51.9 million in 2018.

Cash Paid for Acquisitions Included in Financing Activities

In 2020, we paid $7.3 million related to the TVS acquisition completed in 2019. In 2019, we paid $15.6 million in scheduled installments on the Maco Transportadora acquisition that was completed in the third quarter of 2017. In 2019, we also paid $2.6 million in scheduled installments on the Rodoban acquisition that was completed in first quarter of 2019. We paid $16.3 million during 2018 in scheduled installments related to the Maco Transportadora acquisition. These payments are reported as cash outflows from financing activities as the payments were made more than three months after the acquisition date.

Restricted Cash (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. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, as part of this service offering, we entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements was used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains, was restricted and could not be used for any other purpose other than to service these customers.

In Malaysia, we offer ATM replenishment services to certain of our financial institution customers. Providing this service requires our Malaysia subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received in advance of ATM replenishment. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.

In accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $5.0 million and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified this amount as restricted cash.

At December 31, 2020, we held $322.0 million of restricted cash ($199.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $113.7 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2019, we held $158.0 million of restricted cash ($10.3 million represented short-term borrowings, $100.3 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $47.4 million represented accrued liabilities).
