Fungible, a word supposed to be derived from the phrase functionem recipere, in the civil law. It is not much known in English law, but is often used in French and Scotch law, and has recently been introduced into American legal language. It is used to mean what we have no other word for, that is, res quae pondere, numero, et mcnsura constant (1 Bell's Commentaries," p. 255)* or things which may be returned or replaced by any others of the same kind, in contradistinction from those which must be returned or delivered specifically. Thus money is nearly always a fungible, because so much paid in any way that is a legal tender satisfies a claim for it. But it might happen that A lent B certain specific coins, for a specific purpose, which were to be specifically returned; and these would not be fungibles. If one lent to another corn, or meat, or manure, to be used, and return to be made in a like quantity of things of like quality, they would all be fungibles.
