Yes, they can. Centigrade (Celsius) can go as low as -273.15 degrees C. The same temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is -459.67 degrees -- both indicate absolute zero (0K).
A notable difference caused by having "degrees" of two different sizes and definitions is that negative temperatures on Celsius indicate "below the freezing point of water" (0 degrees C), while below freezing on the Fahrenheit scale includes positive values from 31 down to 0, the freezing point being 32 degrees F.
