Tin
Until a few decades ago, tin was the material par excellence for the manufacture of simple children's toys.

Tinplate is thin-rolled sheet steel. Depending on the purpose, a protective layer against corrosion is applied. Traditionally that tin was applied by immersion in a bath of molten tin or by galvanization, nowadays it is often an epoxy-based plastic.
