what is an alternate metal that will make the same as pop cans?

Question

Must choose an alternate metal that will make the same product that you selected which was pop cans. 

Answer 1

Pop cans are made out of aluminum. [Fun fact: aluminum was more expensive than gold before we cheapened electrolysis in the late 1800s]

 

So you want to find metals with similar levels of malleability and ductility as aluminum. An obvious example would be tin, since many cans are also made of tin today.
