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 . <EOS>
