You live in the US, pennies that have been made after 1982 are entirely made of zinc (97.5 percent zinc), which has been copper-plated (2.5 percent copper).

If however you don't live in the US, galvanized nails are often plated in a layer of zinc.

Answer 2

Tin" is used as a generic term for metal, so it's somewhat hard to come up with objects made of Sn. Paper clips, staples, and aerosol cans are made of steel, while soda cans and foil are made of aluminum - none contain any tin.

Some objects that do contain tin:

Solder in electronics - lead/tin alloy; lead free solder contains even more tin.

Tin cans - the can itself is steel, but it is plated with tin to resist corrosion.

Pewter objects - pewter is an alloy of tin with copper, antimony, bismuth and lead.

Bronze - an alloy of copper with tin
