You can remove rust from tin by soaking the item in a solution of white vinegar and water, then scrubbing it with a mixture of baking soda and water. Alternatively, you can use a commercial rust remover and follow the instructions on the product. After cleaning, make sure to dry the tin thoroughly to prevent further rusting.
Tin cans are not made entirely of tin, and the name "tin can" would be more accurate if it were "tinned can". The can is actually made of steel, plated on the outside with tin. The steel gives the can strength, and the tin plating helps to protect the steel from rusting. As your question indicates, there are situations in which the tin is not entirely successful in preventing rust. Aluminum cans are more naturally resistant to corrosion, and are also more easily made, because aluminum is more easily formed into a can than steel is.
Oh, dude, pure tin doesn't rust because it's not made of iron like your old bike left out in the rain. Tin just chills out, minding its own business, not giving a care about rust. It's like the cool kid at the party who doesn't get involved in drama.
Yes, tin will go corrode and go rusty if left to the elements.
Tin cans are typically made from steel coated with a thin layer of tin. The rusting of tin cans is primarily caused by the steel core of the can, which is more susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen. Factors such as the thickness of the tin coating, the type of protective coatings, and the environment in which the cans are stored can also affect the rate of rusting.
Galvanized tin lamps are designed to resist rust, but prolonged exposure to moisture in a bathroom can still lead to rusting over time. To prevent rust, it's best to ensure the lamps are properly installed and maintained, and to minimize excessive moisture in the bathroom by using proper ventilation.
A tin used for food packaging is actually tin-plated steel. So if the tin wears off, the steel beneath will rust.

Tin cans are actually made of steel that is coated with a thin layer of tin, which provides corrosion resistance. If the tin coating gets damaged or wears off, the underlying steel can rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture, leading to the appearance of rust on the can.
Iron can are electroplated with tin to prevent the cans from rusting. Tin is a metal that resists rust.

Because the probable tin coating is porous or damaged.
Australian coins will not rust since none of them contain any iron, they may develop a patina or become discoloured if left in a moist environment. The money tin may rust though.
Tin actually will corrode. It is not actually all that resistant to corrosion. It is, however, less susceptible to corrosion than iron. That may be where the myth that it doesn't rust comes from.
Type your answer here... The black is oxidation (rust) on the tin, just like the red (rust) is on steel.

Most likely, the dent causes a 'peeled off' plating thus resulting in a rusty surface. Rust is harmful!
Yes, but you should try to remove as much rust off of it as you can with a wirebrush, a wire scrubber, or balled up tin foil. A little rust probably won't kill you. Especially if your grill is made out of iron.
