Do I have to take the cheapest resource tokens first?

The German rules say cheapest first, but the English text is silent and players disagree.

Normal play is to take the cheapest first, and the German rules say to begin with the cheapest resources. The English rulebook does not state the requirement explicitly, so a few players argue that taking a pricier token is not forbidden. The better-supported reading is that you take the cheapest available first.
