San Francisco made circulating coins up till 1955 as well as some nickels and cents in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Proof coins have been made there since 1968.

Are pennies with an S or D worth more?

The "S" and the "D" are called mint marks which identify which US Mint produced the coin. Coins with no mint mark prior to 1980 were minted at Philadelphia. Just having an "S" or a "D" mint mark does not mean the coin is worth more. The value of a coin is generally determined by the demand collectors and investors have for the coin. The more people who want to own it, the more it is worth.
