It is sometimes incorrectly said that a coulomb is defined as Avogadro's number of electrons; this is completely wrong. Just as the ampere and second were defined well before the electron's charge was known, the kilogram was defined well before the mass of the amu was known. Neither value has anything to do with the other.
