Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 19: Income Taxes Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 39.8% and 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 33.1% and 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, offset partially by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction, which we are entitled to based on our domestic manufacturing activities. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to a $68.4 million nontaxable gain related to the re-measurement of our previously held equity interest in ecoATM and the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. The nontaxable gain decreased our effective tax rate by 23.4 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction, which was recorded net of a contingency reserve, and discrete benefits, offset partially by state income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the following items. A $68.4 million nontaxable gain related to the re-measurement of our previously held equity interest in ecoATM decreased our effective tax rate by 12.0 percentage points. A second quarter discrete one-time tax benefit of $17.8 million, net of a valuation allowance, realized from an arrangement to sell certain NCR kiosks and a series of transactions to reorganize Redbox related subsidiary structures through the sale of a wholly owned subsidiary decreased our effective tax rate by 8.9 percentage points. Additionally, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. These tax benefits were partially offset by state income taxes.
