Dahlonega Mint was created in 1837.
Dahlonega Mine Train was created in 1967.
When the Union split with the secession of the southern states in 1861, the end came for the Mint. On May 14, 1861 the Confederate Congress voted to close the Dahlonega Mint effective June 1 likely due to the fact there was no gold or silver bullion needed to strike coins. The Mint never reopened.
The primary mint then, as now, was located in Philadelphia.Branch mints were in Dahlonega GA, New Orleans, and Charlotte. Dahlonega and Charlotte minted gold coins only. All 3 are now closed.yes there closed but you can see the old mint machines by going to the place and serching

The Dahlonega, Georiga Mint produced gold coins from 1838-1861.
It was minted at the Dahlonega, Georgia Mint. This Mint operated from 1838 to 1861 and only made gold coins.
For coins dated 1906 to the present, it means the coin was made at the Denver Mint. A "D" mint mark on an old (1838-1861) gold coin means it was made at the long-closed gold coin mint at Dahlonega, GA.
The Denver Mint didn't begin production until 1906, and the Dahlonega Mint closed in 1861. On an 1881 silver dollar, it's probably an O for New Orleans, not a D.

You didn't provide the coin's denomination but if it's a gold coin, a small D would normally indicate that it was minted in Dahlonega, GA. The Dahlonega mint opened in 1838 to mint coins using gold from the recently-discovered deposits in that region. It closed in 1861 when the Civil War started.
Dahlonega is in Georgia.
