The answer is: They are subway or train tracks.
In the excerpt from "Anthem," by Ayn Rand, the narrator travels through an abandoned underground tunnel. She describes how they go below ground into a large tunnel and see the "long thin tracks of iron," which is not iron. They also touch the cold and smooth train or subway tracks, and crawl forward intending to find out where the tracks take to.
"The gold key is a pretty horrific symbol of the lengths the government will go to in order to brainwash children into enlisting in the military. They tell them that this key will get them into heaven if they die at war. This harkens back to ancient religious wars, like the Crusades, where dying a martyr was the best possible thing a boy could do. Although, in reality, all it means is that they died as pawns of the government.
This key is an especially repulsive symbol because it holds absolutely no intrinsic value—it's "a plastic key painted gold" (13.34). The Iranian military couldn't even give kids something of value to lure them into war, something they might be able to melt down for money. Of course, what value does money have to a martyr? You can't spend it when you're in the theoretical halls of heaven, with more virgins for the taking than you know what to do with."
The type of money the Greenback party recommended was "easy money."
