How did the central government under the Articles of Confederation raise money?

Under the Articles of Confederation, the American government was not even granted the power to tax as a way to raise revenue, very much unlike the American government under the US Constitution. The only way they could raise funds was by asking for money from the states, from foreign powers, or by selling off lands in the west.
