Paper bills can't have "mint" marks because mints make coins, not bills.
US paper money is printed at facilities in Washington and Fort Worth. Older bills sometimes had "Washington DC" printed on the front but since roughly the 1930s bills from that facility don't have any indication of their source. Since the Fort Worth printing facility opened, bills made there all carry a tiny "FW" next to one of the plate numbers, usually on the bill's front. Look for something with a tiny FW, a letter, and a number; for example: FWA32
