Does anybody know why these things can't be skinned, but carry coins? They're basically horses, are they not?

Strange horses!

They are dead-ish.

So when horses die, they start carrying money? I suppose the Gods work in mysterious ways.

The stuff they carry is in their stomachs. They eat odd things: like travelers and their coin purses, jugs of ale, wine, black powder... just odd stuff.

Aren't they a non-corp till dead being?

I thought you could skin hooves from them, actually.

just because something is undead doesn't mean it can't ever be skinned. Moss meys are undead and they are skinnable. Certain clerical rituals require skins from undead, and it would be good to add steeds to the list of things that would be useable for this purpose.

But they are not undead, right? They are cursed to a dead-like state, IIRC.

they have the standard characteristics of undead.

1. harm evil works on them
2. spells from non-holy mana using guilds are harder to cast on them
3. necromantic rituals don't work on them.

I'm not sure who you're responding to with this, or why. No one questioned that they were flagged as undead, someone just wondered if they were cursed or non-corp vs. fleshy undead, etc. Sometimes, you don't need to post the most remedial information possible, it's not always that helpful.

The correct answer is "Skinning Eidolon Steeds broke when the last skinning rewrite went live."

Steed hooves were/are usable for carving prediction bones, and I was hunting them earlier this year. After the skinning rewrite they stopped being skinnable. (You'd just need stockpiled hooves to carve now since you can't skin them currently.)

dunno whether this happened primeside or not, but over in plat the same thing happened to nightREAVER unyns. <the nightWEAVER unyns work fine - haven't checked nightSTALKER unyns>. their spinnerets became unobtainable, meaning the critter is neither skinnable nor drops anything. I do have a bug report into them, and they said it was from the skinning change, so.... hopefully steeds will get the same love.
