Chemically that's known as TIAD.

There's no tin (Sn) in the 'tin can' (it's steel or aluminum), same as
there's no tin in tin foil, it's aluminum foil (I hear some say
"aluminum tin foil"). My theory is that many people began writing tin
foil because they didn't know how to spell aluminum. lol

Oh! I thought it was spelled aluminum in US?? You are the first person I
have seen using 'aluminium'.
