Traditionally, that would be considered rude. However, much depends upon the people you would be addressing First of all, you should never mention gifts on weddinginvitations or announcements. If someone asks you where you are registered, and you feel that they have more modern sensibilities, tell them you would prefer money. It has a lot to do with your comfort and even more to do with the person's values. You may want to play it safe and stick to registering at a store, or if you really need nothing, asking that people make a donation to a favorite charity instead.
It's not really good etiquette to simply ask for cash for wedding gifts but a more subtle, modern way to approach it would be to set up a wedding website where it could be mentioned that you would prefer cash to gifts, but also include links to wedding registries for those who don't feel comfortable giving cash or writing out a check.
You could also nicely explain your wish to your family so if extended family or friends call to ask about what you want for a gift, they could say that the easiest thing to give you would be a monetary gift.

You should never ask for money on a wedding invitation. Instead, you should register for a few items as some people would only buy gifts. You could say we have everything we need but you risk not receiving a gift at all.

How do you properly word a wedding invitation to say money instead of gifts?
It's socially tacky to request money or gift cards. Gifts are meant to be gestures of kindness from the giver, and not made in response to a request for specific things. There is no generally-accepted way to request money in an invitation because it's not socially acceptable. I don't know your situation, but I suggest that you reconsider your approach. If directly asked for suggestions on what you want, it is acceptable to respond with your personal wants, but this should not be proactively broadcast to people.

You do not--this is a serious breach of etiquette. But, if anyone asks what you need, you can reply with your wish for money, stating what you are saving for.
