I can imagine that many planets use their own, but is there a central currency for imperial payments? And, if so, is it a fiat currency, or is it backed by anything? I imagine coinage and paper money could be backed by energy, water, carbon, or even hydrogen, but it could just as well be fiat.

This is just a guess, but I would assume that there is some kind of central currency. The only evidence I have is the existence of the Galactic Commercial Combine and the Imperial Interstellar Spacing Guild, unless the two megacorps run millions of local currency exchange calculations on the daily, which I would imagine would be a hellish process.

There are thousands of Xenos species. Even more of you account for non-sentient species, a number of whom have been domesticated and bred much like irl domesticated animals to suit the populations needs. So a definitive list will not be forthcoming.
In terms of sentiment. Overall the Galactic Imperium is tolerant in the legislative sense. As the Lex Imperialis doesn’t make special statutes based on species. Indeed for every world in which there might be anti-Xenos sentiment there is one which is cosmopolitan in species make up. Generally, most anti-Xenos sentiment is likely in the Periphery. The last region of the Galaxy (comprising three outer 30-40,000 light years of the Galaxy) assimilated by the Imperium and were many worlds are less settled, is where you’ll see harsher sentiments.
Outside of direct Imperial Worlds things are a mixed bag and the GI doesn’t really infringe on the individual treaties and the SAS, Protectorates, or private territories of the Houses.

So how many planets does the Imperium still have a firm hold on?
