No. The US Mint in San Francisco has produced many coins for circulation since it opened in 1854. Prior to 1968 nearly all proof coins were made at the US Mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Beginning in 1968, all proof coins were produced at the US Mint in San Francisco although this mint continued to produce Lincoln Cents for circulation until 1974 and Jefferson nickels until 1971.
In 1984 the US Mint at West Point, New York began minting proof coins as well.
The Philadelphia Mint also produced proof $1 coins in 1999.

What is s?
I assume you posted this in the Coins and Currency section because you're referring to the S mint mark. On U.S. coins, it means that the coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint. San Francisco struck coins for general circulation up to 1955, then occasionally (and only cents and nickels) from 1968 to 1974. Currently only proof coins are made there.

1973 silver dollar?
The series of Eisenhower (1971-1978) dollars can be confusing. None of the coins released into circulation contain any silver, people call them silver dollars just because of the size of the coins. The Mint did make special collectors coins that are 40% silver from 1971 to 1976. These coins were not released into circulation and all have "S" mintmarks, but not all the "S" mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The mint also made copper-nickel Proof coins with "S" mintmarks for 1973. To add to the confusion, 1973 was the only year the regular copper-nickel coins were not released into circulation. They were only issued in the Uncirculated Mint Sets sold from the Mint in 1973. Post a new question and include the mintmark if it has one. Also if it's in a plastic case.

There isn't anything on a coin called a "proof mark". There are MINT marks, small letters that indicate which mint struck the coin.

Since 1968, proof coins (with a couple of exceptions) have been made in San Francisco so they carry an S mint mark.

Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question. The San Francisco Mint was inactive from 1956 to 1964 inclusive, so there are no 1961-S coins of any denomination. The SF Mint was reactivated to strike Special Mint Sets and some circulating coins beginning with the 1965 dates, but these coins didn't carry mint marks. The S mint mark was resumed on proof coins beginning in 1968. In addition, SF minted some cents and nickels for circulation from 1968 to 1974; all of these also have an S mint mark.
