1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second.

1 amp = 1 coulomb per second

12 amps x 1 coulomb / amp / sec x 60 sec / minute =

720 coulombs / minute

enable Q be the coulombs of value pass by using the iron in one minute. I = Q/t Q/t = I Q/(a million*60) = 6 Q/60 = 6 Q = 6*60 Q = 360 So, approximately 360 coulombs of value pass by using the iron in one minute
