What kind of metal is the shiny stuff inside a flatscreen monitor?

High shine, flexible….but magnetic.

Possibly... but if it's sticking to a magnet easily then I don't bother sorting it out

Magnetic = steel/iron and then there are further breakdowns of those.

Lite iron/shred
#1 prepared H.M.S
Cast iron

There are also unprepared categories for larger items that need a torch/cut down that I don't normally receive.
