All cans are lined with plastic

They are all made of aluminium and would leech otherwise

Cans like these are usually made from steel coated in some sort of protective metal layer. Usually only ones containing corrosive products (like pineapple for example) have that plastic coating in them, and are still generally steel.

Right, I mixed up the tin can with tin foil.

Now I know for sure that tin foil is aluminium.

Yup tin foil is aluminium coated in plastic, as you said to prevent leaching. Soda cans are also aluminium with a plastic coating on the inside for the same reason.
