Are all dimes from 2000 ongoing marked D or P?

No, not all dimes from 2000 onward are marked with a "D" or "P." The "D" indicates that the coin was minted in Denver, while the "P" indicates the Philadelphia mint. Additionally, dimes produced in 2009 and later may not have a mint mark at all, as some coins were produced without distinguishing marks to save on production costs.

About 80 cents to $1 for the silver it contains. It doesn't have a P below the date for 3 reasons: 1. Philadelphia only started to use the P mint mark on dimes in 1980. 2. Dimes minted in 1964 and earlier had the mint mark on the back, not the front. 3. The mint mark on dimes dated 1968 and later is above the date, not below.
