There wasn't any common currency in the Confederation era. The central government and the states each had their own separate money, which mades with other countries many difficult. To add, the Confederation relied on the states to send tax money to the central government. The central government lacked funds and thus they could not maintain a military or the paper currency.

the national congress's powers over the states were specific and definite: it had the sole power to negotiate treaties, declare war, and make peace. all powers not granted to congress were reserved for state governments. congress had no power to levy taxes, for example.
