No, but the famous "Mercury" dime got its nickname because the winged cap worn by Miss Liberty looks very much like the cap worn by the god Mercury.

The coins were supposed to be called Winged Liberty dimes but almost immediately became known as Mercury dimes because of the resemblance. They're still called that today, nearly 100 years after they were first minted.

The Mercury Dime was minted in all three mints, Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Not all three mints minted the Mercury dime every year.
