You can measure the mass of anything in centigrams.
The centi- prefix means 1/100, so 1 cg = 1/100 g (one hundredth of a gram).
For heavier objects the numbers could be extremely large: for example the penny piece weighs 356 cg, the current pound coin weighs 950 cg; a standard bag of sugar 200,000 cg; a fully laden London bus 1,800,000,000 cg.
It would be therefore be sensible to weigh smaller objects, up to about 1 gram, for example a postage stamp.
The prefixes to units (micro-, milli-, centi-, kilo-, etc) are used to make the number preceding the unit "reasonable". eg the fully laden bus is 1,800,000,000 cg but using Megagrams this is 18 Mg. (1 Mg is known as 1 tonne, so the bus weights 18 tonnes fully laden).
