Expirable money is called script. A good example is food stamps. The US military has used script instead of cash in the past.
During the depression, it was proposed to issue script to every person of retirement age. The intention was that every penny be spent, avoiding hoarding and keeping currency in circulation, therefore inflating the depressed economy.
Like many systems, it has downsides.
