Accepted Answer

It's not.  It's equivalent to the transfer of that many elementary charges every second .The elementary charge (charge on an electron) is                          1.60 x 10⁻¹⁹ coulomb / electron.The number of electrons in a Coulomb is the reciprocal of that number.                          6.25 x 10⁻¹⁸ electrons / Coulomb.There's the number.  1 Coulomb per second is called 1 Ampere.
