Do commodities count as resources for cards that name resources?
Several experienced players agree on this; there is no official ruling.

No. Cloth, coin and paper are commodities, so cards that name resources, such as the Aqueduct or Resource Monopoly, never take them. Commodities also cannot stand in for a resource in building costs.
