It's aluminium. Tin'd be worth more than what it contains.

Tin of Beans. Can of beer. Or bottle of beer if you feel that you're above drinking from a can. Until you're back in a strange house at 3am and there are only cans left, and you'll suck the last drop from it because you're really a drunken whore.

Yeah. Can it is.

Tins usually have food in 'em.

Cans usually have liquid in 'em.
