metal tin
Small metal box
Tin is a soft, silvery-white metallic element used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion and in alloys like bronze and pewter.
Tin cans are steel containers coated with tin.
The word extends to any small metal container: a tin of mints, a biscuit tin.
In British English, tin often means what Americans call a can: a tin of beans.
