Fcolor04:
The question is right in the title, I recently ordered two revisions of my second board ever and Im currently waiting for third one, Im in the phase of learning by burning parts so I have 14 bad circuit pcb and I don't know what to do with them, do you keep them as a souvenirs, recycle or just throw them away?

Soldering practice?
Mechanical shims?
Heat deflectors when using a hot air gun?

Buriedcode:
... - Drinks coasters
- keyrings
- glued together to make place mats, lamp shades or folder covers
- framed on the wall as a reminder of mistakes

I'm sure I've done more but those are just the ones I can see right now.

Benta:
If you know someone playing with RC boats or cars, give them to those guys. PCBs are great for reinforcement plates, motor mounts etc.

wraper:
I make soldering and other sorts of jigs out of them. Also use as sacrificial soldering surface.
