As it's name suggests, a popcorn tin is made of tin. Tin is a metal but almost no cans, or popcorn tins, were actually made of tin. Rather they were made of tinplate, which is a thin layer of tin over a steel can. Today, aluminum cans have largely replaced tinplate cans - the can is aluminum while the top of the can is still made of tinplate.
