Is it "normal" for all 5 swaps to be on the same date? 

I can't say I've ever taken much notice in the past, so maybe it's not unusual. :winkextra:

In November they had about the same amount of swaps on the same day.
Only have a few staff at each venue.

No details of the coin? I'm guessing it's a $2 coin anyway.

There will be no standard 2019 coins for swap according to the RAM facebook page:

Elizabeth Stanley Are these the only coins that will be released in the pop up shop . Will you also have all the 2019 general release coins in bags for sale thank you ?
Royal Australian Mint Hi Elizabeth, sadly no, we won't have the 2019 Standard Circulating Coins available. Thank you.
