Coors pioneered the use of aluminum cans in 1959. Since then, aluminum
cans have become an increasingly popular package for consumers and
companies alike. From craft beers and canned wine, to energy drinks
and sparkling water. When I began selling my used cans to the juck man
(now known as "recycling center" I had to be careful to include *only*
the aluminium (Brit spelling) cans in the container. Else the magnet
over the conveyer belt would get a workout. With Aluminum at 50c/lb and
"mixed iron" at U$1/hundredweight there was a wide chasm.  Bv)= The now
common pull ring/pull tab was introduced around 1963 and proved the near
death of the old "church key" can opener.
