A coin counting and sorting module comprising a coin sorter wherein coins to be sorted are transported by a rotary disc along a circular sorting path across a series of openings of increasing size; a coin bowl for receiving a deposited mass of coins to be sorted, said coin bowl having an inner surface intended to be in contact with the coins to be sorted, the inner surface comprising a rotating surface adapted for being rotated when the module is in operation; a front coin sensor for detecting and removing counterfeit coins; a coin separating rail knife for receiving coins one by one at a first end thereof from the rotating surface and for guiding the coins past the front coin sensor; the coin sorter, the coin bowl, the front coin sensor, and the coin separating knife being mounted on a front plate of the coin counting and sorting module, wherein the coin counting and sorting module also comprises an inclined rail block for receiving accepted coins from a second end of the coin separating rail knife and forwarding these coins to the coin sorter, said inclined rail block being mounted on the front plate of the coin counting and sorting module, characterized in that an anti-bounce block is firmly fastened to the inclined rail block by a finite number of fastening elements, the inclined rail block, the coin separating rail knife and the anti-bounce block being configured such that, when the coins to be sorted are transported, the inclined rail block will support a planar surface of the coins to be sorted while an upper side of the coin separating knife and later the anti-bounce block will support a perimeter of the coins to be sorted, the anti-bounce block being arranged to reduce coin bouncing so that coins are in abutment with the anti-bounce block when engaged by a resilient rim of the coin sorter. a coin sorter wherein coins to be sorted are transported by a rotary disc along a circular sorting path across a series of openings of increasing size; a coin bowl for receiving a deposited mass of coins to be sorted, said coin bowl having an inner surface intended to be in contact with the coins to be sorted, the inner surface comprising a rotating surface adapted for being rotated when the module is in operation; a front coin sensor for detecting and removing counterfeit coins; a coin separating rail knife for receiving coins one by one at a first end thereof from the rotating surface and for guiding the coins past the front coin sensor; the coin sorter, the coin bowl, the front coin sensor, and the coin separating knife being mounted on a front plate of the coin counting and sorting module, wherein the coin counting and sorting module also comprises an inclined rail block for receiving accepted coins from a second end of the coin separating rail knife and forwarding these coins to the coin sorter, said inclined rail block being mounted on the front plate of the coin counting and sorting module, characterized in that an anti-bounce block is firmly fastened to the inclined rail block by a finite number of fastening elements, the inclined rail block, the coin separating rail knife and the anti-bounce block being configured such that, when the coins to be sorted are transported, the inclined rail block will support a planar surface of the coins to be sorted while an upper side of the coin separating knife and later the anti-bounce block will support a perimeter of the coins to be sorted, the anti-bounce block being arranged to reduce coin bouncing so that coins are in abutment with the anti-bounce block when engaged by a resilient rim of the coin sorter.
