In the game, The World Ends With You, the info for Yen pins say that they can evolve. However, every Yen pin I've come across has been a mastered pin, which is locked out of Pin evolution.
How do I evolve a Yen pin? Is there a way to find unmastered Yen pins?

Unmastered Yen pins can be purchased from shops as Quest items once you have high enough relationship with the shopkeeper.
