Housing bidding receipt

I saw one today and could not pick it up. Can someone else confirm that the receipt is now a personal item? So the part about warning players not to drop the receipt can be removed.

Yes, it seems it cannot be picked up by other players (anymore?).

It could never be picked up by other players o-o

I do remember it was once possible for other players to pick it up and read the bid amount. I've been dropping them in my homestead, but I guess there's really no need for it anymore.
