They're actually called mint marks rather than "symbols". There have been 8 different mint marks over the years.

Four mints are currently in operation:

P = Philadelphia Mint

D = Denver Mint (1906-present)

S = San Francisco Mint

W = West Point Mint.

In the past, there were:

CC = Carson City Mint

C = Charlotte Mint

D = Dahlonega Mint (1838-61)

O = New Orleans Mint

Most coins of the Philadelphia Mint earlier than 1980 are unmarked. Currently the Lincoln cent is the only coin that does not show a "P" when struck at the Philadelphia mint. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_mark
