Old style steel ("tin") cans were, but modern aluminum cans, no. Steel eventually rusts away, but the oxides of aluminum are more durable than aluminum itself (in fact, they're used as abrasives, to wear away other stuff).

On the other hand, recycling aluminum can is twenty times as efficient as extracting aluminum from bauxite ore.
