Not officially.
However, the Mint has struck coins for other countries over the years. There have been many instances where a blank (technically called a "planchet") for a foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with blanks for U.S. coins and was struck with an American design, resulting in a planchet error.

Why on a 1979 two pence coin does it say new pence 10?
Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins. It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank. If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin. Alternatively, you may have a trick coin available from magic shops.
What is coin relief?
Coin relief refers to the raised design or image on a coin that stands out from the background. It is achieved by using a die with the desired design that stamps the image onto a blank coin. The level of relief can vary depending on the design and the technique used in minting the coin.
What is a small blank disc of metal from which a coin is made?
The technical name for a coin blank is "planchet" or "flan". In common use, the word planchet generally is used for a coin blank that's been punched from a flat sheet of metal but has had no other changes. After that the blank usually goes through one or more preparatory steps before the design is added. Blanks are put into an "upsetting machine" that squeezes the circumference very slightly to produce the raised edge you see on the rim. These partially-processed blanks are more frequently called flans, although to again be technically correct a blank without a raised edge is also referred to as a Type I flan while one with the edge is Type II. Once the raised edge has been added the coin blank is fed into the press that strikes the front and back designs into the metal and, if appropriate, adds reeding or other tactile features to the edge. Once it receives its images the planchet has become a coin.
What is the value of a nickel with Monticello on the back but with no head?
More information is needed. What do you mean by "no head" - is the front of the coin blank, or does it have a different portrait than the one you're used to seeing? What is the coin's date, if it's shown? Please post a new question with that info so your coin can be ID'ed.

What is the value of a 1972 penny that is off center slightly?
You have what's called an off-center strike. The error occurs when a coin blank (planchet) doesn't center itself correctly in the collar used to hold the blank while the press strikes the images on the front and back. The more off-center the coin, the more it's worth, so my guess would be that your coin is worth no more than a couple of dollars. It's still interesting to have as a conversation piece, however.
