So I'm going to fill in some gaps in Moe's clues (note my post with the Indian coin was not to throw anyone off it was just a good excuse to post that coin hehehehe)
OK the clue 19334 is the height in feet of Mt. Kilimanjaro
the clue Green-yellow-black-yellow-blue are the colours of the Tanzanian flag
the clue 1961 and 1964 are the two time frames important to Tanzania as the former British Tanganyika became Tanzania in 1961 and Zanzabar joined into that union in 1964

Two more clues to point to Tanzania: #1 and #7 are the neighbors - Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, DR of Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya. #6 (clockwise) - lake Nyasa (lake Malawi), lake Tanganyika, lake Victoria, Indian Ocean. Still trying to decipher couple more hints. Edit: When I saw hint #6 somehow I thought right away that "IO" stood for Indian Ocean. But then I spent a lot of time trying to rearrange Tasmania, Victoria, the ocean, and N-something. And I started wondering if clocks in Australia were going in the opposite direction!
