Current is a property associated with all of the charged fundamental particles. I don't know that it is proper to consider some quantity of current to be fundamental since quantities of current tend to depend on non-fundamental properties such as: speed, orientation, charge density, etc, Current would certainly be considered a fundamental property though.
