Can salt be exchanged for another good at any time, and does that count as a Mercator trade?

The designer explained the exchange rule in 2015 and many players repeat it.

Yes. Salt acts as a wild good that you can swap for any other good at any time, even on another player's turn, and the swap is not one of the Mercator's two trades. What you may never do is buy salt or sell it directly for sestertii.
