D is the mint mark of the Denver Mint. You may also find an S for San Francisco. Coins without mint marks or with a P were made in Philadelphia.
The same mint marks have been used on all denominations of 20th and many 21st century coins, not just buffalo nickels. In the past there were mint marks such as O for New Orleans and CC for Carson City among others. Plus some modern bullion and commemorative coins have a W for West Point.
D is Denver, P is Philadelphia.
