Can the Merchant be placed on a gold field?
Replies are few or split, so this is the best-supported reading rather than a settled ruling.

Most players say no. The Merchant goes on a hex that produces a resource, and a gold field produces gold rather than a resource, so it would trade nothing useful. One early reply says yes, but nobody builds on that reading.
