Australia struck pennies in 1955 at two locations - the Melbourne Mint and the Perth Mint. The Perth Mint pennies have a very small dot, to the right and in line with the base of the "Y" in "PENNY" on the reverse / tails side.
The pennies struck at the Melbourne Mint do not have this dot.

What does it mean if a penny has a D under the year on it...what about if it has a P?
The letter "D" under the date of a penny is the mintmark which indicates where the coin was minted. There are 4 operating mints in the USA. One , represented by the mintmark "D" is in Denver, Colorado. Another, represented by the mintmark "S" is in San Francisco, California. Another, represented by the mintmark "W" is in West Point, New York. The 4th, represented by the mintmark "P" is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. You will find these mintmarks on all coins struck in the USA today with the exception of the pennies which are produced at the Philadelphia mint. You will find no pennies with a mintmark "P". You will also find no coin minted in 1965, 1966 and 1967 with a mintmark. This is because during those years, to discourage coin collecting which some blamed for a coin shortage, none of the mint facilities in the US placed mintmarks on the coins they produced. This practice ended in 1967 and in 1968 mintmarks were again placed on US coins.
