However, fairly large currents of several amperes (coulombs/second) are very common. How is this possible?

Because scientists have created devices to mesure these charges because they can isolate or even manipulate currents.

No problem.
Electronic charge is 1.6 x 10^-19 C is very low. When there is a large current billions of electrons flow across any cross sectional area of the wire per second giving rise to a large current.
