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.
