Tires and cans

How much damage can running over aluminum cans do to your tires?
Yesterday a truck on the interstate lost a garbage bag full of aluminum
cans and the van in front of me hit it. That sent cans allover the road,
and I had no choice but to plow right through them. Don't know how many
I hit, but it was quite a few. So far the tires seem OK, but I didn't
know if the cans could have caused a slow leak. I would hate to go out
one day and find four flat tires on my Dak.

Thanks,
