The current US mint marks are:

P for Philadelphia

D for Denver

S for San Francisco (for proof coins only)

W for West Point (for commemoratives and gold only)

Until recently most coins from Philadelphia did not have a mintmark so you may find many older coins lacking mint marks. Dates for the P mint mark are:

> 1942-45 : "war nickels"

> 1979-present : dollars

> 1980-present : nickels, quarters, dimes, halves

Philadelphia cents do not have a mint mark, even after 1980.

Mint Marks on Older CoinsS for San Francisco on circulating coins 1854-1955, also some nickels and cents 1968-74

C for Charlotte, NC 1838-1861

CC for Carson City, NV 1870-1893

D for Dahlonega, GA 1838-1861

O for New Orleans, LA 1838-1861 and 1879-1909

How do you recognize mint marks on US silver certificates?

Mint marks only appear on coins. US paper money is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, while coins are made by the US Mint. They're completely separate operations. When silver certificates were issued the BEP had only one facility, in Washington DC. Any small-size bill you may have was printed at that location.


If there is no mint on a penny what does it mean?

How do you find the mint on a 1909 US cent?

The mint is the facility where it was made, so I assume you're referring to the mint MARK, which is the letter that indicates the facility. The mint mark position on a 1909 Indian head cent is on the back under the wreath. On a Lincoln cent, it's under the date. Most 1909 cents were made in Philadelphia so they don't have mint marks. Only a relatively small number were in San Francisco, and they carry an S mint mark.


Why do quarters have a p or d?

The "Crown" and the "Castle" are two of many mint marks types indicating where the item was made or minted. The Mint Marks are many and varied.

Other mint mint marks include crosses, stars, flowers, moons, keys, animals, etc. all of which have many variations, and these are only the British marks.

How to locate the mint mark on a US 20 dollar bill?

Bills don't have mint marks. The U.S. Mint only makes coins. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which has only 2 facilities. The main plant in Washington DC doesn't put any special designation on its bills. The auxiliary facility in Fort Worth marks its bills with a tiny "FW" next to one of the plate designators. It may be in different places on different bills so you have to look closely for it.
