No you are clearly disillusioned if you believe that an economist understand is the only one who can run a monetary policy. Understanding how currencies work is not easy to grasp at first, but surely any educated man will do.
And what does this has to do economics being a science anyway? Do you think that if you will apply the same economic policies in two different nations, you will get the same result? Please, don't make me laugh. Theories are made to explain outcomes and every school (Austrians, Socialists, Communists) justify their failures by trying to explain things that they totally don't understand.
