There are currently four mints in the United States of America. Below are the Mints and a short description according to Wikipedia.
1. Philadelphia Mint which produces circulating coinage, mint sets and some commemorative coins.
2. Denver Mint also produces circulating coinage, mint sets and commemoratives.
3. San Francisco Mint produces regular and silver proof coinage.
4. West Point Mint produces bullion coinage.

Looks like silverpe has them all, including the Manila mint in the Philippines, most people miss this one. There were also private mints that made gold coin in Georgia 1830, North Carolina 1830's, Colorado and San Francisco. The first coins by the U.S. mint, may have actually been struck down the road a piece, by a blacksmith at his shop, for the mint was not yet finished. Of course colonial coins were struck by several states.
