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.
