How do you know if a Penny has been minted in Melbourne?
Most Australian Penny coins minted at the Melbourne Mint will have no mintmark. It is easier to identify those not minted at the Melbourne Mint. Pennies minted at the Perth Mint from 1938 will have a (.) after the Y in PENNY (PENNY.) or after the last A in AUSTRALIA (AUSTRALIA.) or between the KG above the kangaroos tail (K.G), depending on the year. Some of the 1951 coins were minted at the Royal Mint London and have a small "PL" after the "Y" in PENNY. Some of the 1942 and 1943 coins were minted at the Bombay Mint in India and have a small "I" below the bust of King George VI. The pre-1938 coins (before the kangaroo design) are a lot more difficult. Coins from 1911 and 1913 to 1914 and some 1915 were minted at the Royal Mint London and have no mintmark. Coins from 1912 and some 1915 were minted at the Ralph Heaton Mint in Birmingham and have an "H" mintmark below the scroll. Coins from 1916 to 1918 were minted at the Calcutta Mint in India and have an "I" mintmark below the scroll. From 1919, all coins were minted in Australia. The 1919 and 1920 coins may have a dot (.) above or below the scroll. A dot above the scroll indicates the Sydney Mint, a dot below the scroll indicates the Melbourne Mint. From 1921 to 1936, any Penny without a mintmark may have been minted at any of the Melbourne, Perth or Sydney Mints.
What does S or D mean with old coins?
Actually those mint marks are on new coins, too. D means the coin was minted in Denver. S means it was minted in San Francisco. Most coins minted at San Francisco since 1968 are special collectors' coins called proofs. However there were some nickels and pennies minted for circulation during the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as some Susan B. Anthony dollars; these turn up in change very occasionally.
