I know of no country where the average citizen can affect the monetary policy of their currency.

Otherwise we wouldn't have had two full years of central bank-fueled upwards wealth redistribution almost everywhere in the world.

In abstract theory, in the US - you get to elect the president who nominates folks at the central bank and congress (again, elected) confirms them.

I agree with you in reality though. The average person have 0 input in the monetary policy in America or Europe.

You forgot one step (which further highlights the absurdity of this system): US citizens elect "presidential electors" who then elect the president.
