Container for mints (3)

I believe the answer is:

tin

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Metal element" , "A silvery-white metal, symbol Sn" , "Cornish metal?" , "Silver-white element often used in food containers" , "Silvery-white metallic element" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
