Because the US has always had a very active Mint system there's never been a need to contract with foreign mints to produce US coins.

The opposite, however, isn't the case: the US has struck coins for a number of other countries that were too small to operate their own mints, or to help during periods of high demand. For example, the Philadelphia Mint struck some 1968 dimes for Canada when that country was converting from silver to nickel coinage and didn't have enough capacity to produce all of the coins needed for the changeover.
