There are 4 branches of the US mint that currently mint coins. They are the Philadelphia mint (P mintmark, or no mintmark on some older coins and cents), Denver mint (D mintmark), San Fransisco mint (S mintmark, primarily produces only proof coinage now but used to produce a lot of silver coinage) and the West Point mint (W mintmark, used only for commemoratives and bullion coins). There were other branches of the US mint that historically struck coins but are no longer used. These include the Dahlonega, Georgia mint (D mintmark, in operation from 1838-1861, produced only gold coinage, closed before the Denver mint was opened), the Carson City mint (CC mintmark, 1870-1893) and the New Orleans mint (O mintmark, 1838-1909).
