It is a redundant rule. This printing from Rio Grande Games doesn't even mention the 4 gold maximum per sale. Under Harvesting and selling beans (page 7), it only mentions restrictions on selling from a bean field with fewer than 2 beans only when both fields have exactly 1 bean. The other rule you mention is reiterated though. Therefore, you can earn 8 gold ...

If the game wanted you to gain a maximum of 4 coins on each of your turns as active player, it would certainly have specified "4 coins per turn", instead of "4 per sale" (which pretty much ...

(tldnr: use a timer when trading)
I will assume 6 players, so all cards are used.
There are 151 cards in the deck. 30 are dealt out at the start leaving us with 121.
Each turn 5 cards are draw, meaning before the first reshuffle there will be 24 turns.
You can't use simple math to show how long the other 2 reshuffles will take, but in my experience the ...
