A pressing member having a body member with a first downwardly inclined plate and a second downwardly inclined plate is configured for mounting on a coin feeding apparatus to control the translation of coins on a rotary selector disk as they are released. The coins experience a downward force from the inclined plates to push them against the surface of the rotary disk to ensure that the coins remain within the predetermined translation path for the coins. A blocking plate can be extended upward from the body member adjacent the upstream downwardly extending plate, to prevent a rising of the coins to ensure the coins passes under the canopy of the pressing member across the translation path.
