  That is pretty close.  The actual number used by the electroplating 
industry to determine the weight of metal that will be plated in a given 
amount of time at a given current is 96485 coulombs/ Faraday. Normally this 
is rounded to 96500.  I use this often to determine plating efficiency for 
given plating conditions at work.

Two more cents,
