The tin is not, but the term tin plate usually refers to steel that's plated with tin. The steel is made from iron, and the term ferrous means having to do with iron. It's no coincidence that the chemical symbol for iron is Fe and that the word for iron in other languages involve the letters f,e,r. Cans for most canned goods are tin plate. The only metals that are magnetic are iron, nickel and cobalt. Nickel and cobalt are magnetic but are not ferrous because they have nothing to do with iron.
