<p>The present invention provides a coin-detection station comprising a frame in which a passage for coins is provided. In use, the coins roll on one side along an underside of the passage. The passage is provided with at least one radiation source arranged on a side thereof for emitting radiation across the width of the passage in the direction of at least one radiation sensor. The at least one radiation sensor is designed to emit a detection signal which indicates the passing of a coin. The passage is furthermore provided with a movable first closure element for closing off a first end of the passage. If desired, the passage is provided with a second closure element which can be moved synchronously with the first closure element and closes off a second end of the passage which is situated opposite the first end. Operating means provided on the frame serve to move the first closure element and the second closure element between the first and the second position.
