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

Tin itself is a chemical element with the symbol Sn (Latin: Stannum) and atomic number 50. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as tin dioxide, SnO2. Actual tin foil was superseded by cheaper and more durable aluminum foil, which is sometimes called "tin foil" because of its similarity to the former material.

Many thing contain tin such as err the laptop i am typing on write now, the can you had last night with coke in it, alloy contains all types of metals and one of them is tin. door handles contain tin, you television contains, tin and your phone also contains tin. you may not know this but all most everything to do with metal contains tin. even you bed may cantain tin..(if its metal because if its wood that would be wierd) most day today speakers have tin in it. so stop looking every where else for the answer because ive just waisted err 5 minutes telling you it so dont ingore it.

What percentage is lead and tin?

If the question relates to solder or tin-lead plating of electronic components to prevent tin whiskers from growing then the answer is a minimum of 3% lead in the tin solder. Eutectic tin-lead solder for electronics is 63% tin 37% lead. Due to the European Union's lead ban (environmental regulation called RoHS), non-lead tin solders have been developed; SAC alloys (tin-silver-copper) being most common. A higher temperature is required to melt solders that do not contain lead. As of this writing (Oct 2010), there is no adequate substitute for lead. Tin whiskers may grow and eventually cause electronic products to fail and we do not know why that happens or how long it takes for them to grow. One scientist at NASA aptly summarized the situation: "Sometimes tin whiskers" For sheetmetal (copper, tin plate, galvanized steel plate soldering, 50% tin - 50% lead is preferred. 50-50 was used for copper plumbing until lead was banned (concerns about water quality). Silver replaced the lead and a higher temperature was required to melt it.
