Ferdinand de Lesseps’ Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interoceanique, organized to finance the building of the Panama Canal, goes public in Paris at 500 francs ($100) a share. More than 100,000 people buy into the IPO, but the company collapses and the shares are worthless within eight years. 6    FINANCIAL HISTORY  |  Fall 2017  | www.MoAF.org
