Before the newest Mint facilities were opened most production of most coins occurred in Philadelphia. The other mints were still considered to be subsidiary facilities, in part because much of the U.S. population was still east of the Mississippi until the middle of the 20th century.

However, if you check mintage figures for all years except 1922 and 1923, the first full years of Peace dollar production, there are several years in which Denver was in first or second place so it's not strictly true that it minted only a few such coins.
