Serious(ly ridiculous) question here. Could a person or a small group of people take down a countries economy legally? Is this possible?

Totally. I know how you could, and how to destroy the economy of the given area. But it requires an initial investment which is quite substantial,,but not unreasonable, and is entirely legal...

Why wouldn't some terrorist have done this? it would hit a country pretty damn hard.

See there are organizations everywhere that you may not know of but have a big role in select city's economy, if they control more city's, the more of the country they take down

Interdependence. There are zero economies that exist independent of the rest of the world. Can't happen. "the economy" is just the exchange of goods and services for currency on a macro scale.

Having a terrorist actually accomplish this would not achieve a terrorists goal. Their main reason for their actions is for people to fear them. Simply destroying an economy would only constitute revenge and is a very gradual slide to despair. Terrorist attacks need to be sudden, and drastic to have a lasting impression. The logistics of having a terrorist group take the effort and resources required to destroy an economy resulting in no benefit to them, and no immediate effect on anybody renders the idea of a terrorist attack on an economy unrealistic and improbable.
