Currently (2015) circulating US cents are produced by the Philadelphia and Denver mints, while collectors' versions are made in San Francisco. The mint mark position is under the date:
> No mint mark = Philadelphia
> D = Denver
> S = San Francisco
San Francisco also struck cents for circulation from 1908 to 1955 and from 1968 to 1974.
During times of high demand the West Point Mint has made circulation cents as well but these don't carry mint marks and are indistinguishable from their Philadelphia cousins.
