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.

'Money is no object' is a fixed phrase meaning that the speaker doesn't care how expensive the item/service/etc is.

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 Smile
