How many resources can you buy with gold, and at what rate?

Several posts, one quoting a publisher correction, agree on the two-gold buy rate and the typo in the English gold lines.

Two gold buys one resource card of your choice, at most twice per turn. The rulebook lets you trade resources into gold at 4:1, or 3:1 and 2:1 with a building on a matching port. Kosmos' rules editor says gold is not itself traded at those bank rates, though a Mayfair reply once suggested otherwise.
