Sometimes.

Circular mills is a way of measuring wire size. It's a measurement of area. It's used to state the cross sectional area of round wire, because the current (electricity) carrying ability of wire is related to this area.

In the U.S. wire gauge (18 gauge, 14 gauge, etc.) is used to state wire sizes until they become large. Large sizes (larger than 0000 gauge maybe) are stated in circular mills, but the size of any wire could be stated in circular mills.

How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?

Electrical current flow in a copper wire is typically measured using an ammeter, which is connected in series with the wire. The ammeter measures the flow of electrons in the wire and displays the current in units of amperes (A). Make sure to set the ammeter to the appropriate range before taking the measurement.
