Driving an AC relay with DC of the same voltage will burn up the coil due to rapid over-heating. The current when driver with DC will be considerably higher, and constant (the coil will be always saturated), rather than cycling as with AC, so the average power (current sqaured times resistance) will be MUCH higher, with a resultant increase in self-heating.
