what does it mean by money is no object?

[Gray]

As a noun 'object' means 'the goal intended to be attained' or 'the focus of cognitions or feelings'.

The second meaning fits here as we don't want to focus on money.

Thanks. I was completely unaware of that...that it is a fixed phrase.

Well, that was my typical non-native thinking of dissecting the words
