You are referring to the mintmark, which signifies where the coin was minted. A "D" means Denver, and "S" means San Francisco, and no mintmark at all means Philadelphia. Other than the cent, other denominations have, since 1980 (and also the 1979 dollar coin and the 1942-1945 nickels), represented Philadelphia with a "P".
