Hello Sunsetsam777,
Does the US mint in San Francisco still mint coins?
The United States Mint at San Francisco does not currently produce
circulating coins, however, it is the exclusive manufacturer of
regular proof and silver proof coin sets.
Excerpt:
?The United States Mint at San Francisco plays an important role in
our nation's coinage. Although it does not currently produce
circulating coins, it is the exclusive manufacturer of regular proof
and silver proof coin sets that set the standard for numismatic
excellence with their brilliant artistry, fine craftsmanship and
enduring quality.?

And what mints had the O and the CC letters?
(CC) was for Carson City and (O) was for New Orleans.
"Today's coins use four: Philadelphia (P), Denver (D), San Francisco
(S), and West Point (W). But other branches have operated in our
nation's past, including New Orleans (O), Charlotte (C), and Carson
City (CC). Denver's "D" used to stand for Dahlonega, Georgia (between
1838 and 1861)."
