{{a|glossary|}}Entirely interchangeable. In the context of [[securities]], being of the same issue, and having the same securities identification number. The same, but not, if you see, the ''same''.
There is a great divide in the bedeviling [[pedantry]] of law, the between things that are the ''same'' but somehow, over a period of time, ''different''; things that are ''different'' but nonetheless at a given point in time, the same; and things that don’t exist at all, but being unique representations of that nothing on a blockchain, in a Cartesian sense ''do'' exist, are still somehow different from each other. [[Amend]]ment describes that first class; [[fungibility]] the second; credulous gulls the third.

There is a great divide in the bedeviling pedantry of law, the between things that are the ''same'' but somehow, over a period of time, ''different'', and things that are ''different'' but nonetheless at a given point in time, precisely the same.

*'''''Not'' fungible''': Securities from different series, even if issued by the same issuer, are ''not'' fungible with each other.  
*'''''Not'' fungible''': Securities from different series, even if issued by the same issuer, are ''not'' fungible with each other.  
*'''[[Non-fungible|''Non''-fungible]]''': Tokenised representations of meritless gobbets of intellectual property (Banksy prints, memes, tweets etc.) that are created on a [[blockchain]] and sold to stupids are unique, by design, representations of the empty set. ''This'' picture with the lens cap on is different from ''that'' picture with the lens cap on.
