There are currently 4 mints, not 3:

Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) - circulation coins

San Francisco (S) - proof coins

West Point (W) - bullion and commemorative coins

There have been 4 other mints in the past:

Charlotte, North Carolina (C) - gold coins only, 1838-1861

Dahlonega, Georgia (D) - gold coins only, 1838-1861

Carson City, Nevada (CC) - 1870-1893

New Orleans (O) - 1838-1909

San Francisco struck circulation coins up till 1955, and occasionally in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

West Point has occasionally made cents when demand warrants, but they are struck without a mint mark so they cannot be distinguished from Philadelphia cents.
