For US minted coins, look for a tiny capital letter somewhere in the design. For coins minted since 1968, the mint mark is on the front of the coin. For coins dated 1964 and before, the mint mark is usually but not always on the back.
D = Denver mint,
S = San Francisco mint,
P or no letter = Philadelphia mint,
W = West Point mint (collectors' coins only).
Pennies are the exception. Since 1909 the mint mark has been on the front under the date. Also, cents made in Philadelphia still don't carry mint marks even though all other denominations have used a "P" since 1980.
