Mikoto's railgun is like a push. She pushes the coin further. If she stops pushing (canceled), the coin returns to normal.

Accelerator's is like a throw. Once you throw something, it will travel according to the laws of physics. In base, AC's power just tells the object to "go that way".
Long story short: So does Railgun. A railgun uses magnetic fields to launch (or 'throw') an object. There is no 'pushing.' Once the coin is launched, it becomes a physical attack separate from Mikoto's ability.

However I'm curious, what does the novel have to say about this?
