Why do sharks eat metal?

Sharks are basically instinctive eating machines; if there's a piece of metal dropping through the water in their path that is physically capable of fitting in their mouth, they may very well swallow it.

They don't actively seek out metal to eat, but something like an old license plate dropping through the water may look and move like a wounded fish, and sharks really aren't all that bright.
