What is Fungible Asset?

Describes goods or commodities that, when separated into single units, are indistinguishable from each other. Therefore, each unit of a fungible asset will have the same value. 1 gram of gold, for example, will have equal value regardless of what form it takes, e.g., ingot, bullion coin, nuggets. Gold is fungible. However, two specimens of a numismatic coin will have different values and, therefore, are not fungible assets.
