Note 3: Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents were $237.7 million and $242.7 million at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of this total, cash equivalents were $22.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and consisted of money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities such as money market funds, certificate of deposits, and commercial paper. Our cash balances with financial institutions may exceed the deposit insurance limits.
Included in our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were $81.2 million and $81.7 million, respectively that we identified for settling our accrued payables to our retailer partners in relation to our Coinstar kiosks.
Separately included in our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were $62.6 million and $66.5 million, respectively in cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions domestically and $13.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively in cash and cash equivalents held in foreign financial institutions.
