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).
