Default 30 amp from two 15 amp breakers

Hey All - got a question about something thats been bugging me tonight
(dont worry im *not* going to do this, im just interested to know if
its possible).

Is there any difference between a 30 amp breaker (2 hots, one out of
each pole of the breaker), and two 15 amp breakers, one hot coming out
of each?

ie, if you wired a 30 amp plug, would both of the above equate to the
same thing?
What problems would arise, etc?

sorry if its a dumb question


Short answer - DON'T DO IT.
