The "D" is a mint mark. A "D" on any US coin dated 1906 or later means that it was made at the Denver Mint. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1945 US nickel?" for more information.
Other possible mint marks on modern US coins include:
- "P" or no mint mark = Philadelphia
- "S" = San Francisco (only on circulating coins before 1956 and from 1968-74, currently only used for proof coins
- "W" = West Point (only on commemorative and bullion coins sold to collectors)
These mint marks are no longer used because the mints are no longer operating
- "O" = New Orleans
- "CC" = Carson City
- "D" = Dahlonega, GA (closed 1861 so no confusion with Denver)
- "C" = Charlotte
