A mint is a factory where coins are made. The US has four currently-operating mints:

P: Philadelphia (no mint mark on most coins before 1980)

D: Denver (since 1906)

S: San Fransisco (circulating coins till 1955, some 1968-74; proof coins since 1968)

W: West Point (commemorative and bullion coins only)

Four other mints are now closed. These were:

C: Charlotte (gold coins only, 1838-1861)

D: Dahlonega (gold coins only, 1838-1861)

CC: Carson City (1870-1893)

O: New Orleans (1838-1861 and 1870-1909)
