How do I evolve Yen pins?

Question

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.

The 1 Yen pin can evolve into a 5 Yen or 10 Yen pin depending on the PP it is leveled up with. Other pins will evolve from Battle PP.
