Serious answer if anyone's wondering: yes. There is a finite amount of iron on Earth and no real way of generating more, same as any metal. However, there's a lot of it and iron is infinitely recyclable. So if we use and reuse it responsibly, it shouldn't be a problem.

Everything on planet earth is finite, without exception. At the same time, everything can be renewed. The question of renewability is more about how much effort it is to return something to its original state to be used again. Iron is comparatively easy to refine back into its pure, usable form.
What about Rust?
