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

What is a 1978 gold dollar worth?
You need to be more specific. There have not been any gold dollars released by the US Mint since 1889 for circulation (minus some minor collector editions before 1933) and there are no gold dollars dated 1978 struck by the US Mint. Instead you either have a gold plated 1978 dollar coin (which would just be worth $1) or you have a dollar coin issued by a different country or private mint.
How does the US Mint create paper money?
It doesn't. The US Mint only makes coins. Paper currency is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which is totally separate from the US Mint.
