Generally, modern toilets are required to be low flow, which is 1.6 gallons (6L) per flush. Older toilets were 3 gpf (11L). Modern toilets vary in the amount of water required to flush them, from 6L to 3L. Some have a dual flush system allowing solids (faeces) to be flushed with a full volume flush, say of 6 or 4.5L, and liquids (urine) to be flushed with a smaller volume flush of about 3L.
It is not possible to flush properly a toilet with less water than that with which it was designed to be flushed. Low volume flush toilets have been designed to work efficiently with a smaller volume of water.

Jet hole in toillet blocked by a coin need to remove how?
If the coin is not affecting the flush of the toilet, for example, if you put a lot of toilet paper into the toilet and flush and the paper goes down and it flushes fine, leave the coin there. However if it is affecting the flush and nothing goes down after flushing, the only option is to knock out the pan and put a new one. This is the only option, its a costly affair, that's the price for throwing coins into the cystern thinking its a wishing well.
