>apparently that damage was done by the earlier iconoclasts after Henry VIII's reformation.

Which just goes to show, you can pick any era you like and someone will be destroying every beautiful thing they can find.

The difference is that the money changers were charging people to buy special temple money that could only be used to purchase animals for sacrifice in the temple. They were emblematic of the corruption of the temple, acting to prevent people from atoning in a place where they should have been free to enter without hinderance. I'm not sure that the church requires a special scrip for sacrificial gin. Not now, anyway.
