If you mean a US Cent, there is a 'D' below the date if it was minted in Denver, Colorado, an 'S' if it was minted in San Francisco, California. If neither of these mintmarks is there, it is from Philadelphia (even today there is no "P" mint mark on US cents) Older Australian cents from the Melbourne Mint don't have mint marks. Those from Perth have a dot between the 2 letters of the designer's monogram (KG).

Why do some pennies have a D after the year?
The D after the date indicates that it was minted in the Denver Mint. An S stands for San Francisco. Higher-denomination coins also have a P for Philadelphia. Cents do not use a P because the sometimes the West Point Mint strikes (comparatively) small numbers of cents when Philadelphia can't keep up with demand. The government doesn't want to create instant rarities, so neither Philadelphia nor West Point cents have mint marks, and you can't tell them apart.

In the US, there will be a mint mark on the coin if it was minted in Denver or San Francisco (the letter D or S respectively). If there is no mint mark, it was minted in Philadelphia. The exception to this is that coins minted from 1965-67 don't have mint marks even if they were minted outside of Philadelphia, so for those years you can't really tell.

How much is a 1967 quarter worth if it was minted in Philadelphia?
US coins dated 1965-1967 don't carry mint marks, so it's not possible to tell where your quarter was minted. In circulated condition it has no added value -- there is no silver in it. A nice uncirculated one is worth about 50 cents.
Can you tell where the quarter was minted?
Many U.S. coins have a mint mark to show where it was minted. On modern quarters, the mark is just to the right of Washington's hair ribbon. P stands for Philadelphia, D is Denver, S is San Francisco, and on older quarters there is O for New Orleans. On quarters minted before 1980, there was no mint mark for Philadelphia. For silver Washington quarters dated 1964 and earlier, Barber quarters, and Seated Liberty quarters, the mark is on the back just below the eagle. Then with Standing Liberty quarters, the mark is on the front, just above and to the left of the date.
