No, there is no such thing as "a bitcoin" or "a satoshi", in the software, in memory on your computer, or in the protocol. This is actually crucial, and not just semantics. If each satoshi were an actual thing, then they could be traced from inputs to outputs. All that exists is an accounting mechanism of (output measured value - input measured value).
