Their very own FAQ says:

How to avoid digital cash expiration?

Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

Jesus, that sounds like a catastroph waiting to happen.

Depending on the length of the period and when that period starts.

People get sick, people get jailed, all kinds of events happen that can incapacicate you for extended periods of time

Meanwhile the bitcoin landfill guy has finally given up his search
