For US minted coins, look for a tiny capital letter somewhere in the design. For coins minted since 1968, the mint mark is on the front of the coin. For coins dated 1964 and before, the mint mark is usually but not always on the back.
D = Denver mint,
S = San Francisco mint,
P or no letter = Philadelphia mint,
W = West Point mint (collectors' coins only).
