The U.S. does not have any "F" mintmarks. Only P-D-S & W for any coins.
The US has never used an "F" mint mark. What you're seeing is almost certainly the designer's monogram. In particular, Indian Head nickels have a prominent "F" for the artist James E. Fraser.
Only coins are minted and have mint marks. Bills are printed. The F is called a series letter and indicates that the bill was the 7th signature combination in the series begun in 1928.Please see the Related Question for more information.
A denomination is needed, post new question.
The "F" found beneath the date on the 1 oz. American Buffalo Gold Bullion coin is not a mint mark. It is the first letter of the designer's last name, James Earle Fraser.
yeah its worth more generally but it depends if it has a mint mark. they go from A-F, F being the least valuable but on ebay they tend to go for around 30 bucks in decent condition. if you have one you can bring it to your local collection shop and they can take a look. they are always worth more if a 3rd party Grades the bill, but unless you know its in quite amazing condition it might not be worth enough to pay for it to be graded. hope this helps :)
No US coins have ever carried an F mint mark. Please post a new question with a more complete description - what is the coin's weight (usually in ounces, on the back) and denomination, and what design does it have?

It's the designer's initial - J. E. Fraser. It's not a mint mark.

That's PFENNIG, just like it's spelled on the coin. The Nazis were forced to mint coins out of zinc to save more critical metals as the war went on, so it's difficult to find coins from late in the war that are still in good shape. You'll also need to look for a mint mark because that significantly affects this coin's value. Mint marks A and D are worth about $2.50 in average condition. E, F, and G are worth about $3.50 A 5 pf. coin with a B mint mark could retail for over $50.00
All Indian Head (also called Buffalo) 5 cent coins have the letter F on them. It is the initial of the engraver. The letter F has no bearing on value. Value of coins is determined by condition, date, mint mark and rarity.
F is not the mint mark that is the inital of the name of the designer of the coin the mint mark is located on the back below 5 cents

What you saw as an "E" is not a mint mark, and is actually an "F", the monogram of the coin's designer James Fraser. The mint mark on buffalo nickels is under the words FIVE CENTS. Plain (no mint mark) and "S" 1936 nickels are worth a dollar or two in average condition. "D" coins are worth slightly more.
