Newly-minted coins from the Denver mint usually go to western states first, while Philadelphia-minted coins usually go to eastern states. Technically, though, the branch or vendor that serves the location will determine from which Mint coins come. Once coins are in circulation, the coins can be mixed up; any location could get coins from either Mint depending on available stock.

The Denver mint is one of the two places in the U.S. where circulating coins are minted. It was started in 1863 and is still in operation today making all denominations of circulating coins. For its first 46 years, the Denver mint was only an assay office in the Clark, Gruber, and Company Bank Building. Miners brought in gold dust and nuggets to be melted and cast into bars. By 1895 the place was booming, bringing in more that $5.6 million in gold and silver deposits. In 1904 the government decided to convert it into a working mint, and built a much bigger building. In 1906, its first year in operation, it produced over 167 million gold and silver coins. Today the mint can produce over 50 million coins a day. The two other mints are San Francisco and West Point. San Francisco makes proof coins, and West Point makes commemorative and bullion coins.
