Tin is more expensive than aluminum so enjoy it.
In today's world, they both mean the same thing. However, back before WWII, or thereabouts, the metal foil used in the way we now use aluminum foil was actually made of tin. Real tinfoil is no longer used, but it can still be bought costing over $100 for a 50 foot roll.
Tin owners are some weird folks. I never fit in til I bought my tin Ranger. Lol
Welcome to the weird club Tin Man. I'm weird. One guy called our boats tin cans! I guess his glass jar is his choice.
